Mental Illness And Custody

[Sylvie66]

My question involves a child custody case from the State of: OR

My ex is mentally ill with atypical bipolar disorder. He is under supervised visitation with our son, has not worked in over 2 years, and is not seeing a mental health specialist. How can I get the court to enforce that he be monitored by a mental health provider as a a condition of custody? In Oregon, everything is done through a mediator, and mine is incompetent. I don't even know how to sue him for full custody, and the mediator somehow doesn't understand how important this is.

Any specialists in Oregon law and mental illness? I could use some advice!

Thanks,

Sylvie

Is the supervised visitation court ordered?

What is the existing custody order?

What do you think you gaining full custody is going to accomplish for you?
