I didnt see your second post there. No Ubusi was suggesting that the court get a recomendation and letter of compliance from this mans psychiatrist.

Him being verbally abusive to the mother, the court will likely not see that as danger to the child. It needs to be directly to the child. This is where it gets messy, abusing mother infront of the child is abusive to the child. The court may not see it like that. Being verbally abusive to mom doesn't mean he will be to child, even if you highly suspect he will be and might be right. Usually the court will not take that stance.

I understand where you are coming from, if the court made me hand my children over to my husband I would feel like a very neglectful parent doing so. If I handed my kids over to someone like him who was not there parent and by my own choice they could take them away from me for being so neglectful. Kind of a real catch there.

I am just trying to share with you what I learnt about how they deal with this stuff here. That they usually want to have proof of direct harm to the child. I am in Canada not the Us, but the court seems to care little about potential harm or preventing harm unless harm has ready been done. Sort of deal with it after the fact. Again inocent untill proven guilty.. but I think depending on the state, we might be different in this area.

I do agree that leaving guns laying around is dangerous. Tho not believing in psychiatry... might not be. She doea need to present alk this to the court.
