It will be necessary for him to file some type of motion (request) with the court to force the mother to take the daughter for psychiatric treatment or transfer custody. He can do this himself by writing out what he wants. Maybe the local clerk will aid him in filing it properly. A lawyer will be very relutant to get involved without any payment because it can be extremely time consuming. It could wind up being a trial. Bill Stern
