Re: filing petitions

Yes, and Yes.

If you want to win this however, I strongly urge you to find a lawyer who knows something about both family law and mental health issues. You may need an expert witness as well. A court will not treat a governmental agency the same way as she treats an individual parent.

Good Luck
