7. How about this as an enticement?

Present your client’s actions towards moving his life forward in a positive direction. Let the Court know that he completed a rehab program and has followed up in a program with a sponsor. A personal statement could be valuable, too.

Here’s the kicker: Let your client accept random testing to assure his compliance.

His ex-wife won’t have any standing as long as your guy stays on the straight and narrow.

Good luck!
