Borderline personality disorder

A court has the authority to order an evaluation during the pendency of custody litigation. File your motion to modify custody and request the evaluation. Upon a showing of good cause the court will order the evaluation.

The only reliable manner to obtain complete and adequate legal advice is to consult with an attorney, fully explain your situation, and allow the attorney sufficient opportunity to research the applicable law and facts required to render an accurate opinion.

For the past three years my husband and I have been trying to remain active in his daughter’s life. My husband’s ex has very unpredictable behaviour, one day she wants us to be part of his daughters life, and then the next she denies him visitation. Mostly she is on her “bad” behaviour, we rarely get to see any “normal”, “rational” behaviour from her. We have been to court 3 times in order to enforce the visitation order. We would love to have custody of his daughter, we feel that she is in a chaotic home and would thrive in our home, our lawyer feels that we have almost enough to go for custody, but not quite. Can the court order my husband’s ex to be psychologically evaluated? If so, how can we get the ball rolling on that, and have her evaluated?
