it sounds you are being mean and if you are so concerned for your child why aren't you filing for custody? on the flip side if your heart is the right place why don't you try talking to her or someone in her family that she trust and who also trust you and tell them what you think. and why are you so quick to put a label on what is wrong with her she might just perk up after your divorce or maybe she doesn't want a divorce and she has no choice either way once you leave or stay shell get a chance to heal from you! i bet ya didn't think you might be the cause of her sadness?

You've got a terrific question here, and I wish I had the answer to it. It's natural to be concerned for your child's well being. Going through my own divorce some time ago, it was also a concern for me as well. Does your wife know about your concerns? Have you already filed for a divorce? The reason I ask is that if she is aware of your concerns, and she chooses to be negotiable on the topic, maybe using a mediator instead of attorneys battling it out might be better? If your concern is primarily for the child, and she should understand that as well, since she probably notices the swings even much more so than you do... She may simply be willing to consider it - if not for her child, then maybe for her own health? Good luck to you.

Reasons for divorce in California are insanity (mental health issue) or irreconcilable differences, If mental health is the issue then it needs to be listed within divorce paperwork, court should require an evaluation to support such a claim and that would be your basis to voice your concerns about your child's safety and custody proposals.

You request a psychological evalutaion (which costs $, but worth it). You document conduct, so that you have dates & actions to give to your attorney for the trial. You will both need to do the evaluation and they will conclude as to whom they feel would be the best for custody. We have gone thru the same situation and she was diagnosed with bipolar, we now have custody of his son. You need to spend as much time with your child as possible.....your attorney should be answering these questions for you & you need to receive good guidance from him. Ask him any questions you have, if he cannot give you answers then you probably need to obtain a different attorney (make sure it is a divorce atty. that you have hired). Good Luck!
