What nobody is talking about is how the legalization of marijuana affects families, in particular families dealing with divorce.
Drug use has always been an issue in divorce and parenting cases. Historically, it’s been fairly easy to take a case to court with proof that a parent is illegally using drugs and limit that parent’s contact with the children. That all changed on Nov. 6, when Colorado state law legalized marijuana use. The courts do not routinely take children away from a parent because that parent legally consumes a reasonable quantity of alcohol, a legal substance. Will the courts take the same approach with marijuana?
