    Default Custody Suspended Pending a Mental Health Evaluation

    My question involves child abuse or neglect in the State of: Kentucky
    my wife is a very loving mother. Her ex has NPD and took us to court to get full custody.he is very abusive mentally.has had DVO,EPO on him. The judge knows 'Joe',and his friends. Judge "judy" would not listen to our case, even though we had psychologist written statement. 'Judy' gave 'Joe' full custody until my wife gets a mental evaluation, which is in one month.She cant go that long without her kids.Just a normal mother who loves her children.
    I feel the judge should have excused herself from this case,or at least listened to the kids. the children were screaming and crying in court that they fear for their lives, but the court didn't care.they wouldn't even let them hug her goodbye. What can we do, quickly?

    Your wife needs to get a lawyer ASAP. An experienced family law attorney can help her get the best result possible out of this. If the judge had a conflict of interest here, her attorney would have moved for recusal so that another judge could be appointed to handle it. I can pretty well bet that there is a lot more to this than you have mentioned here, and I can guess that you have provided a fairly biased picture of things. I don’t blame you for supporting your wife and painting the most favorable picture for her that you can, but the court doesn’t hear just one side of things. It hears both sides and makes the decision based on that. Often that decision is one that neither side really likes. That’s the nature of family law and family disputes: each side tends to dig in an insist on what he or she wants and anything less than that makes them unhappy.

    Something must have happened to prompt the court to order the mental evaluation of your wife. That doesn’t generally happen out of the blue. Thus, it’s unlikely she’ll be able to change things any before that evaluation is done.

    the judge says she is to enmeshed with her children , and that she turned her children against their father. We have told the children that he loves them but they know better. We have many books on NPD,'narcissistic personality disorder.' we have a good laywer, but judges will not even listen to him. She even threw out any CPS reports.Because he is a minister, everyone listens to him.

    thank you.
