Substance Abuse in Family Court: Legal Tools and Practical Realities
About this program
When substance abuse enters a custody dispute, the legal and emotional stakes escalate dramatically. Hon. Harry L. Powazek (Ret.) of Signature Resolution draws from decades on the family bench and his experience in drug court to examine the statutory tools available to address substance abuse—such as Family Code §3041.5 testing orders, supervised visitation protocols, and the use of trained custody evaluators.
This OnDemand CLE program earns 1 hour of General credit in California. It aired September 11, 2025 and features Ashley Gerdo and Hon. Harry L. Powazek (Ret.).
