Investigations in the Question of Child Custody

In the context of adjudication of child custody the youth welfare service or court of justice can require a drug or alcohol test of one or both parents to objectively prove their allegations. This is particularly the case if these public authorities suspect that the well-being or security of the child are endangered. Urine and hair tests complement each other excellently in these issues.
