My husband and I were married about 15 years ago in a Columbia, South Carolina. About 5 years ago we relocated Greenville and we have been living there ever since. One of the reason for our relocation was change of job. The other was that I suspected my husband had got caught up in the wrong crowd and without having to accuse him of a possible drug addiction, I decided this couldn’t have happened at a better time. Since leaving Columbia, SC, our marriage has deteriorated and we have separated. I have since told him my views and without really denying he has a drug problem, he seems to always blow it off and move onto the next argument. We have 2 young kids which I allow him to see them on the weekends and I am now having second thoughts altogether. We have not officially gotten a divorce mainly because we both are not in a position to hire divorce lawyers and second, I don’t want to put my kids through this type of battle. Now that I pretty much know that he is using drugs, I feel my kids could be potentially in harms way both while he is driving and possibly if something like a bad deal happens and my kids are caught in a cross fire. I have spoken to him about possibly putting him into a rehab but he is so against this and he told me it was out of the question. So without the money to hire a divorce lawyer what other options do I have? Can I put him into a rehabilitation program even if he doesn’t want to go. This is a decision I would make because my kids still love him very much and they need to have a dad.

You can’t force anyone into rehab. Only a judge can do that. Also, how are would you pay for rehab? It is not a cheap thing, so make sure that your health insurance covers it. I think an investment in getting a divorce lawyer based in South Carolina might be worth protecting your children from your drug addicted husband.
If your husband wants to get help and quit his drug addiction, fine. If he does not, I think you need to sever your relationship with him for the sake of your children.
