Divorce and Alcohol
Alcohol in a marriage or family can be a sensitive topic. Someone could have a drink every day but that does not necessarily mean that he or she is an alcoholic. Alcoholics typically lack the ability to be disciplined with their consumption. This affects many aspects of their closest relationships. It is not unusual for an alcoholic to have a complete disregard for the consequences their actions are causing to their spouse or family. If one’s spouse is struggling with alcohol abuse, the thought of divorce is usually looming.
The process of a divorce, custody and visitation becomes more complicated when minor children are involved. A major concern of the non-alcoholic spouse is the alcoholic spouse having visitation time with the children. If the spouse of an accused alcoholic is unable to prove their addiction in court, the changes of shared custody increase. SOBERLINK’s devices provide the parent who is sharing custody a way to monitor alcohol use while they are providing care to their children.
