My son's always lived w/me in Ont, Canada. I want to deny any access until he proves to me that he can be a good influence & good father. He's never worked longer than a few months. For years I supported him & my son. He stays with friends, pays nothing back, eats their food, smokes their cigs, etc & uses drugs. He's abused me emotionally/verbally but never my son. He's never tried to see/speak to his son, I always pushed for it..maybe 5 times in my son's life he's asked to see him, then made last-minute excuses & cancelled. My son & I have been living with my parents in a loving & stable home for a long time now, & for 2 years I have been doing f/t schooling, I'm a year from graduating college. He seems to think this is war but I'm doing this for my son's benefit, & would gladly grant access once he can quit drugs & make something of himself. I know I'll have no prob getting sole custody, but will I have to give access? Preferably asking someone with knowledge of family law.Thank you!

Drug use, how do I prove it, can I ask for a test to be done? As for testimonies to his character, yes, I have many. But a lot of people are confusing "custody" with "access"... I'm not afraid that I wont get custody.. I'm concerned that he'll gain access to spite me, and mistreat or be a bad influence to my son.
