My 13 year old daughter told me the babysitter who lives with them and is my ex wife's best friend was just released from a mental hospital and that is why she is there. She also said she leaves her food in the upstairs bathroom which is attracting a lot of bugs and this is where she lives and my daughter is accross the hall. Also she told me the woman walks around the house depressed and crying much of the time. Is this something that should be added to the custody filing next week?

Do not add anything unless you have proof of any of this. I am sure you have a lawyer so tell them what your daughter has told you they have ways of being able to check into things. At 13 your daughter may talk to the judge so, let her tell the judge all that. If you do not have a lawyer do whatever checking you an to see if any of that is true, I am not calling your daughter a liar just sometimes people tell kids something and they believe it, her mom could have told her this woman was in a mental hospital and it may not be true. If your daughter has a lawyer maybe talk to them, they can go do a home visit unexpected and check things out..

Definitely tell your lawyer.There are several issues here that needs to get uncovered and resolved. Your lawyer will set into motion an investigation that will benefit both you and your daughter. What she has disclosed to you may help your case if it is shown to be true. But will hurt you if it is shown to be true and you never acknowledged what was told to you. It is the safety of your daughter that takes top priority. Again tell your lawyer and let the lawyer take it from there.

It sounds as though your daughter wants out of that house 100% of the time. If she was OK with things at your ex wife's house then she would not tell you the details. Talk to law professional but it sounds like it should be added to the court case.

I would think so . Just the fact that she let this disturbed person move into the house where her daughters safety could be in jeopardy is not thinking clearly. Who's to say what this very depressed , disturbed person might do. I wouldn't go into the food thing with the bugs, you don't want to look petty.

You have to ask yourself how far am I willing to go to get my child back. If you are willing to add this to your case, you must first enquire whether or not this story is true, I'm sure you have complete trust in your daughter, but from a legal point of view, you must obtain evidence.
If you are still at odds at what to do, contact your lawyer and inform him of this, he will most probably tell you more concise ways to aproaching this.

Don't add it unless your daughter testifies; coming from you, it would be hearsay.
