Plain City, OH asked in Divorce, Family Law and Child Custody for Ohio

Q: I have parenting issue with ex spouse with mental illness. He was been non compliant . He wants to modify the agreement.

When he doesn't agree with we agreed to, he's constantly is wanting to change things. We both are supposed to have an ROR, which includes talking to the psychiatrist and or doctors. I agreed to be transparent about my medical health, even though i do not have any psychotic disorders. He has took me off his ROR, than reinstated it with limitations ,threatening me to completely get off all meds and not have any relationship with son. Also has lowered his meds without me knowing, than complaints about side effects of meds. I asked him if he asked his psychiatrist, if he asked if there any medications he try in the place of the medication, he said no. She just agree to lower them. Hes on the lowest shot form. His defense , I'm on meds under my doctors supervision. Im guessing he never told her about the parenting agreement. His psychiatist is getting an certificate in holistic medication. He is considering treating his schizoaffective disorder with supplements.

A: I don't see a specific question here. It sounds like you may wish to either file a motion to enforce your present agreement, or in the alternative terminate your agreement in favor of you having custody reserving visitation to the other parent. It sounds like you may wish to have a Guardian ad Litem appointed. The Guardian will conduct interviews of all of the medical professionals involved and make a recommendation. I also strongly suggest you invest in hiring an attorney who regularly practices in the county family court that issued your parenting plan.
