Family Law Professionals Receive Faster Drug and Alcohol Results with U-VERIFY™ Testing

DRUG AND ALCOHOL TESTING IN FAMILY LAW

For family law professionals guiding their clients through the challenges of child custody disputes, every tool that minimizes challenges and accelerates positive outcomes is invaluable.

While alcohol breath testing has long been a foundational element of family law cases, it often presents significant roadblocks as it does not monitor non-alcoholic drug substances. As such, clients are forced to complete intrusive collection procedures at inconvenient public collection sites that delay turnaround times and subsequent critical decisions around child custody.

ADDRESSING THE LIMITATION OF TRADITIONAL DRUG AND ALCOHOL TESTING

It's vital to acknowledge the shortcomings that have historically hampered traditional drug and alcohol testing in family law settings.

  • The standard practice of observed urine collection, though intended to prevent tampering, is inherently invasive and can be deeply demeaning for clients.

  • Requiring clients to repeatedly travel to specific collection sites introduces significant logistical hurdles leading to missed tests, reduced compliance, and an added layer of stress in an already challenging period.

  • Breath alcohol testing is not legally defensible and often requires follow up urine drug testing. This multi-step process delays results preventing immediate responses to ensure child safety or proving compliance.

  • Breath alcohol testing doesn’t test common drugs, potentially missing newer synthetic substances or a wider array of prescription medications that are increasingly misused. This limited view provides an incomplete picture of a client's substance use patterns.
