You may want to file a motion to modify his visitation rights. If he has a drinking problem, you don't want him driving around with your child.

Depending upon what jurisdiction he is in, he could be looking at between 4 days to one year in jail. However, many jurisdictions offer alternatives to jail to where he would not be behind bars. Many factors play a role in these offenses and more information would need to be known. Contact a local attorney.

In Texas it is a DWI not DUI if one is over 21. ? You can ask to have visitation modified so that he is not driving the children.? You can certainly ask to have him ordered not to drink within 24 or 48 hours of visitation.

He could get up to a year in jail if this happened in Michigan. Yes get the order modified so that there has to be a legally licensed and sober driver for the children.
