I have called the hospital mental ward and DOCS anonymously in regard this matter and have had no answer that fits what is in the best interest of the child.

I feel like i am helpless in this matter and have become quite disgusted with the responses.

I have been told that they do not have a test (eg. DNA , scans) to show it in black and white though instead is diagnosed by psychologists or doctors.

If the person is unaware and not seeing a problem to "fix" what can i do.. i don't feel comfortable waiting for more things to happen.

How can i get my sons mother to be tested so that he lives in a safe envoronment?

G'day nick7676, You can get a Justice Examination Order (JEO).

This is for QLD, there will be something similar for NSW.

Thanks DC for your reply,

I have looked into the (jeo) and as expected not called the same thing here in NSW , too easy i know ...

Though it did get mee looking through the Mental Health Acts in NSW i did find a (CTO)"Community treatment order" and thought i was on the right track but that seems to be only issued by medical professionals or magistrates unlike the QLD medical act ,

I will persue this course and post any new developments for future inquires.

One thing you do have to watch is that you are not seen to be the adversarial party and using the situation to promote your own cause.

Sometimes you may have to let the system operate and act on what is seen, this may come to the fore in mediation, if this is considered a cause for concern it will in some cases be noted by the moderator. If you continue to court it may also be picked up there.

There may also be concerns voiced as to why you have not approached relevant authorities for help before this point.

Thank you for your reply D4E

I have inquired anonymously not blaming and shaming,

Those calls were to DOCS and hospital mental ward, I have mentioned to it my solicitor and in mediation. i have had to call police to attend my house on several occasions and told them that i feel that there are mental issues so they could log events, she was taken to hospital once while pregnant because they were concerned for the baby and once to the mental hospital because of her behaviour but just released again hours later ,

Though there standard response was that it was hormones it has not stopped the behaviour 9 months later.

is there someone else i can contact so that i have done all i can ?

Thanks for your reply D4E

It becomes very hard to gain acknowledgement that there is a problem that continues when you are not there. Because it's you who have contacted the authorities there is less relevance associated with what may well be problem it may well be seen simply as bad blood on your part and she may infact appear to be the victim who may be assumabley suffering something as severe as post natal depression.

I am not saying any of this is the case but it may be relevant.

For yourself you need to consider the relevance of what you are doing in regards to the best interests of the child, if there is evidence that the child is in danger and being mistreated or suffering physical abuse because of this situation then document it and approach your doctor, it may be relevant to seek help via counselling for yourself as to how best approach the situation to benefit the child.

There is a certain amount of unwritten acceptable behaviour before authorities will step in and sometimes there is too much acceptance especially if there is child abuse concerned and the parent/s are known to the authorities, certain cases that come forth in the media show can be seen as extreme examples.

Because of this acceptance it is important that you focus on very specific areas of danger to the child and be cautious not to over represent concerns that are trivial in regard to behaviour that may be deemed acceptable.

Or you may be the one that appears to be the problem.

Read the section on P.A.S. and such disorders on the forum and familiarise yourself with how best to deal with the situation.

Thank you D4E will do
