Blood Drug Testing

Do home drug test kits really hold up in family court?

Do "Home Drug Test Kits" hold enough evidence in family court? I would like to know if anyone has used a home drug test kit on their small child to detect second hand smoke from marijuana? My child is exposed to it weekly by her paternal grandmother during her father's visitation and no one has been able to help me keep her out of her house because her father has shared legal and physical custody, and lives with his mother. I was told that I need to get proof of my daughters exposure to it through a doctor doing the test and that would be enough to keep her out of there and possibly get full custody back. Do you think this is true? Do those kits really hold up in court? Thanks for the advice

1. If you administer the test yourself, most likely it wouldn't hold up, though it possibly could. A doctor administering the test in his office would hold up. Doctors understand the chain of custody rules and would have impartial witnesses to back them up.
