Husband has classic anti social behavior disorder symptoms. His possible condition prevents him from realizing he needs help. How can I go about petitioning from the court system for a psychological evaluation?In the state of illinois can you petition to have a spouse mandated to psychriatric care?
In every state there is a law allowing you to compel your spouse to be evaluated and sent to a hospital for a comprehensive evaluation (usually, most will keep you for 72 hours minimum); however, 3 conditions must be met:
** they must a danger to themselves
** they must be a danger to others
** they must be self neglecting (unable to feed or take care of themselves)
If he has antisocial personality disorder, he will be released unless he is later jailed for legal violations.
