I have never been in a situation where I needed to be tested but in my mid-20's my friends and I would use coke recreationally on weekends. I remember one friend had got a job at a Honda plant and had to be tested with only a weeks notice. He had done coke a few days before he was informed of the test so it was total about 10 days between last use and the test. He was clean.
Apparently cocaine metabolizes very quickly, but you gotta stop right now. Think about your kid.
One thing to add, I think his was a urine test. Not sure if the hair test is more revealing

I'm really sorry you chose to use despite the very big consequence of not getting custody of your daughter.
I can relate....when I was in the throes of my addiction I chose to use several times knowing I had a drug test coming up....i ended up losing my nursing license because of my choices.
I'm now clean and sober over three months and I've made the choice to never drink/use again. I really hope that you make that choice to quit once and forever.

I lost custody of my children due to my drug use-well, I didn't fight the custody arrangement that was written in the divorce papers-let's just say that.
I've been clean for a few 24 hours and the best I can say is that I am still not ready for full custody. I have pretty open visitation with them but they aren't really interested in seeing me. (ages 12 and 16).
Clean it up now, I implore you. You don't want this for yourself.

I'm am sorry but if you are in active addiction you should ask for no custody. Get clean and start to build a relationship based on honesty.
I was drunk a lot of my children's lives and I had no business being around them. Recently my daughter died on my 5 year sobriety birthday. The thing that eats me alive is thinking about all of the wasted days I can never get back.
I beg you from the bottom of my heart do not make the mistake I did. Do whatever you have to but get and stay sober
