Ok so my father is a total scumbag. He owes my mother, my sister, and I more than he can imagine. My mom is a very reasonable very kind person. My father has not paid child support for over four years resulting in him owing our family over 40 thousand dollars.
My mom has made a very very reasonable proposition to him, if he starts paying half of his mandatory 300 dollar child support checks, my mother will drop everything and not take him to court.
But since my father is both an asshole and an idiot he replies by saying something along the lines of no I am not paying EVEN half of the child support and above that he called both me and my mother drug addicts and called his own 13 year old daughter a prostitute.
Ok now getting to the point, since my father refused to pay, my mom will be taking him to court. The defense my father is going to use in court is that my mother is an unfit parent, which is total bullshit by the way. He is going to say we both use drugs, my mother doesn't care about us, she lets us do w.e. we want, etc.
Now for my question! My mother is worried that if my dad does say all that bullshit in court some kind of agency will come and investigate our house to see if my father's bullshit is true. Is this possible? Will the court believe my father's lies and have my mother and I be drug tested? My mother is a saint and she will come up clean as a whistle but me, lol that is a different story. The point I am trying to make though is does the court have the authority to investigate all of my father's accusations when my father has nothing to back up what he is saying? Thanks in advance everyone, your help is greatly appreciated.
