It is not an automatic admission, but you will want to remind the court that he did not follow the court's order and take a follow-up test.

I believe the court would view it as a dirty test, especially as he's already tested dirty.

Generally, if a parent fails to comply with an order to undergo a drug test, the court will treat it as though the est results were positive.
