A family member has been hospitalized for what their parents are calling a nervous breakdown. I don't know actual diagnosis.(known to drink and previously took painkillers) This person initiated a divorce several months ago and has been very uncooperative re: developing parental plan for young child and purposely done things to hurt/aggravate spouse using child. The spouse has physical custody of child, but until now has been liberal with this person seeing child everyday if wanted to see child.

When this person is released from treatment facility, what should custodial parent do? Concerned about safety of child. What written reassurance should court ask for regarding parent's mental status and child's safety? Should they wait 90 days after release before unsupervised visitation allowed? What should we be worried about re: child welfare? Don't know what questions to even ask.

Thanks for any help!
