Divorce, Marriage, Alimony Law Answers
Go back to court and change the custody order based on the fact that your ex has violated the order prohibiting him from drinking around your daughter or before visiting her. Be sure and tell the judge that you had to call the police and if possible, bring a police report with you.
I don't know if the judge would take away your ex's visiting privileges, but a solution may be to ask for supervised visitation whereby your daughter is not alone with her father. Perhaps this will sober your ex up and result in more pleasant visits with your daughter.
