Divorce Support Forums: need good lawyer/ BAD situation

Sadly, the one time I requested law enforcement intervention, the head police officer said, "well he's not that drunk. Why can't your son stay? His girlfriend is here, and she isn't drinking" UNREAL. (My son didn't want to leave yet) He said that while holding the paperwork from the judge stating that if there were ANY alcohol consumpution during visitation, I had the right to terminate the visit immediately. The saddest part of the whole situation, is that my son doesn't see or more importantly, want to see why his dad shouldn't be drinking. He thinks his dad is "funny" when he's drunk. I really worry about my son making the right desicions when it comes to alcohol. My son is aware of the DUI my ex recieved, and from hearing my ex downplay it ("it was only a couple blocks"), my son doesn't think it's a big deal either. I don't know many people out here, we only moved out here within the last few years. Money isn't the issue, it's the long, drawn out court proceedings that I worry about. That, and the fact my son and present hubby DO NOT get along. I hear Indiana lets the child decide where they want to reside. If my ex didn't drink, and my son wanted to go there, I'd be o.k. with that, but with the drinking, it scares me quite a bit. The ex has never spent more that 48 hours straight with my son, and he has NO patience. On longer visitations, my son has expressed my ex loosing his temper with him. I can only imagine how bad it would be after a week straight. In the end the most important thing is the safety and well being of my son. Sorry this was so long. Thank you.
