Can the Family Court require Drug Testing?

Experienced family law attorneys in San Francisco will tell their clients that the Court can require drug testing if there is proof of substance abuse.  A recent 2016 case in California found that it is not a violation of Fam C §3041.5 to require a parent to submit to drug testing indefinitely as a condition of increased and eventual unmonitored visitation, and to order that a positive or missed drug or alcohol test would trigger a return to limited monitored visitation. Heidi S. v David H. (2016) 1 CA5th 1150.
