Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
My ex daughter in law has Borderline Personality Disorder. Her behavior prior to the divorce and after the divorce has been a roller coaster ride. She is an habitual liar screaming when she gets around my son, �stop hitting me, stop abusing me, you hurt me�, when my son hasn�t touched her. My son runs his video on his phone every time he is around his ex in order to protect himself. She is extremely sick and extremely evil. She even has played that same scene on me one of the visits to Florida I made to visit. She had the Sherriff on the stating I was hurting her and she was scared of me. I hadn�t touched her. She is very scary. She doesn�t uphold anything she says she will do, including helping out with my granddaughter�s homework. My son and ex have a 50/50 agreement for taking care of the 3 children. Her antics go on and on. Her family is even aware of her issues, but when it gets down to it, they will support her because of the family relationship.
My question to you in this day and time when we find individuals �going off� and harming others, only to find out these individuals had given warnings as to their lack of mental stability, but nothing could be done because of HEPPA etc; how can my son and grandchildren be protected? Does my son have anything legally that he can do/file to protect himself from her charades and unstable mindset?

First things, first. Have your son make the inquiries. As an attorney, it is a big turnoff, when mom, or the new wife, makes the inquiries. Have him put his "big boy" pants on and contact an attorney.
He needs to be able to convince the court that she is unstable, and that it would be in the children's best interest.
The son needs to consult with counsel to formulate a strategy, to restrict her contact with the child you have to show the court her behavior is affecting the child in a negative way.
