When Someone is Falsely Accused Drinking

Custody battles can quickly turn contentious, especially when a parent has to defend their sobriety in court. For many parents, maintaining a sober lifestyle becomes not only a personal journey, but also a critical part of proving themselves fit as a parent. In some cases, such as Evan’s, sobriety can be weaponized against the very people working hard to maintain it. When someone is falsely accused of drinking around the kids, it can feel like an uphill battle and the stakes couldn’t be higher.

Evan is a father of two and knows this experience all too well. His sobriety, which had been a part of his life long before his custody dispute began, was suddenly called into question when his ex-partner alleged that his past relationship with alcohol made him unfit to parent. “It was submitted to the courts that my past relationship with alcohol could interfere with my ability to parent,” Evan explains. “When it becomes someone’s word against someone else’s, decisions can be made that just aren’t always right.”

With his ability to be with his children at stake, Evan needed a solution that could provide undeniable proof of sobriety. Evan looked no further than Soberlink.

When someone is falsely accused of drinking around the kids…

Evan’s attorney recommended Soberlink, a comprehensive alcohol monitoring system trusted in the family court system. “I never questioned it for a second,” Evan recalls. “Soberlink software basically made it undeniable that the things I was saying about my own recovery, my own sobriety were the truth.”

Soberlink is more than just a breathalyzer—the system combines technology and convenience to provide court-admissible documentation of sobriety that supports child safety and offers peace of mind for concerned parties. For someone like Evan, who was trying to prove his sobriety amidst false accusations, this technology was a game-changer.

“I had already been walking the walk, but when you’re doing things in the courts, it’s about whether you can talk the talk,” Evan explains. Soberlink’s court-admissible reports provided concrete evidence that allowed him to back up his words with indisputable facts. “It definitely took a lot of fear out of the process, especially when your children are what you’re fighting for.”

The Court’s Perspective

One of the key advantages of using Soberlink is its recognition and acceptance in the legal system. Judges and family law professionals often need concrete evidence when making decisions that impact a child’s welfare. Evan’s attorney had used Soberlink with other clients and knew how powerful its reports could be in court. “It carried a lot of weight in the court system,” Evan says. 

In alcohol and child custody cases where sobriety is questioned, it’s easy for one party’s allegations to overshadow the truth. Without hard evidence, parents in recovery can find themselves in an unfair position, unable to disprove claims that jeopardize their parental rights. Soberlink’s reliable and consistent reporting eliminated the “he-said, she-said” nature of Evan’s case, allowing the court to focus on facts rather than allegations.

Restoring Trust and Rebuilding Relationships

The transparency provided by Soberlink didn’t just affect the courtroom; it also helped Evan rebuild trust in his personal relationships. As he continued to demonstrate his sobriety, Evan’s relationship with his children improved. “My relationship with everybody just improved. Everybody benefits from the sober me, especially me,” he reflects. Knowing that he had concrete evidence to support his sobriety gave Evan the peace of mind to focus on being the best parent he could be.

For Evan, using Soberlink wasn’t just about winning a court case—it was about protecting his future with his children. “Having the proof to back that up makes me feel just way more comfortable that my relationship with them is in no way going to be jeopardized and that I can continue to be present in their lives for the rest of mine.”
