Hair testing for drugs in custody case?

My friend has a three month old daughter and is trying to get full custody from her ex, who she left because he was an alcoholic and smoked pot. She is freaking out bc he coerced her to take ecstasy one time and thinks he might try to get the court to take a hair sample to prove it. Her ex has always buzzed his hair so he doesn't have to worry. She took it about four months before she was pregnant but wants to cut her hair really short before their next court date so he can't do that.





I told her I don't think they would take her hair but I don't know. Should she cut her hair?Hair testing for drugs in custody case?
Exctasy does'nt migrate down the hair like opiates. So it will only be in the segment that was formed in the follicle the day after she took the drugs. If it was four months ago she would have to cut her hair prety short but definitely not buzzed. She could leave like 2-6 inches depending on how fast her hair grows. They usually get reative and pull hairs from somewhere on the body to avoid sample tampering as some products can be applied to the hair that mess up the tests. People usually don't think to apply these products to there arm hair or pubics and in my experience testers take hairs from obscure regions.


I SERIOUSLY doubt that she will be drug tested with a hari test in this situation. They are very expensive and no family ourt would ever order this. Maybe her ex could bring it up in his case and use her refusal as evidence in his favor but she should just ask him to pay for it and if he will she should since one use probably( 1 in like 200 chance) will not show up anyway. He will not pay though they cost like $500-$1000 for anyone good enough to even possibly detect a single use. Don't cut your hair BABE!!!!!Hair testing for drugs in custody case?
If she is forced to take a drug test, she can force him to take a drug test as well. They can use hair from any part of your body, so the hair on your head isn't as important as you may think. Also, they go by percentages when it comes to drug use in certain cases, so if she only did it once and he has done it several times, that will show up in the tests.
The court can force her to provide a hair sample for drug testing if they deem it appropriate, she can request that he provide one as well. They don't just take the hair on people's heads, if no hair samples can be taken from the head they will take them from the pubic region. If she purposefully tries to screw with the test by shaving off her hair, it will work against her in court. Alcohol is the only thing that really stays detectable for the lifetime of the hair. Amphetimines are detectable in the hair for about 90 days, LCD for only about 3 days, weed about 90 days, PCP about 90 days etc. I'm not exactly sure about ecstasy but I believe ecstasy is a form of amphetimine, so as long as she hasn't used it within the last 3 months (I should hope not considering her daughter is 3 months old) then she should be ok.
