My suggestions regarding your situation is to obtain documented evidence as well as ' professional expert witnesses' who can be ordered and used to give evidence regarding ur partners character n behaviourism which will help strongly and build up a profile of ur partner in preparation for court.If 'They' refers to mental health facilities - it's a case that in Aust. There is an extreme shortage of hospital beds and mental health facilities through out the whole of Australia.
