QUESTION
Can my spouse force me to undergo drug testing?
Asked on Aug 16th, 2015 on Divorce - Pennsylvania
More details to this question:
I live in PA. My husband of 20 years is controlling, abusive and insecure. His own mother called the state police to our house about 8 months ago because he was beating me so badly. We have 5 children, 4 of them are minors. Last night he tells me he thinks I am abusing prescription painkillers, which I am not. He says he is going to force me to get a hair drug test so he can take the kids and I lose my teaching license. Can he force me to get my hair cut? This seems ridiculous to me as we are not even separated let alone going through a divorce. What are my legal options?

Tell him to go pound salt. It takes a court order for him to obtain your hair sample, which he will never get. You need some domestic violence counseling and you should probably speak with a divorce lawyer, confidentially.
