husband and excessive drinking - advise neeed

We are still married but I am looking for direction based on what possible outcome may be. I want to divorce, but am holding back because I am worried my husband/he dad will get visitation and he has an alcohol problem. I would not want him to have unsupervised visitation due to his problem. No physoical abuse but drinks to the point of passing out. What are the Georgia Courts view on visitation with an alcoholic parent? Can you request supervision during visitation?

Divorce is the last option, but having no luck getting him to admit to his problem or enter a 12 step. We tried counseling but he only admitted to the counselor drinking a 12-pack on the weekend vs. a gallon or gallon and a half of liquor plus beer & wine on a Saturday/Sunday, etc...

I live in Georgia and when i was going through my divorce i explained to my attorney that i did not want my ex to have unsupervised visits because of him drinking. He was only granted visitation at his mothers home from 9am-6 pm on every other Saturday and Sunday. Which i was to provide the transportation. Afterwards i found out that his mother had been drinking with my children there and went back to court. I had proof that they were both drunks. So he was only given supervised visitation...which i was to supervise at the local park. I met him at the park 2 times and after that his drinking was more important, so he has not seen or spoken to my kids in almost 8 or 9 years now.

My point is that most of the time you must have some sort of proof that he is an alcoholic. He can get into court and deny it all he wants but as long as you have some sort of proof then he should only receive supervised visits.

By the way, unless he is ready to admitt that he has a problem things are only going to get worse. People have to admitt to themselves they have a problem before they can get on the long road to recovery. I know i have lived around alcoholics my entire life. I am actually in school to become a substance abuse counselor. In hopes of helping some of my family.

He won't admit he has a problem until he hits rock bottom. Who knows what they may be for him.

You can request supervised visitation but you will need strong, compelling evidence to receive it.
