1 Answer from Attorneys
The judge will have to have an evidentiary hearing to determine that the issues in the case appropriately raise the mental state of the bipolar parent in support an order requiring a psychological evaluation of that parent. If there is an admission of the diagnosis and a showing that medication and treatment is being fully complied with then it is not likely that the Judge will order the psychological evaluation, unless there has been actual harm to the children.
