When my Ex wife, who suffers from severe Bipolar and delusions, attempted multiple suicides, physically and emotionally assaulted me, emotionally abused our children, drained my retirement to get us to move, start a new job, then pay for her divorce lawyer, was recognized as severely mentally ill by the custody evaluator, and still barely got joint custody at first, and still had to pay her a living wage in maintenance from my net for 7 years ALL after 14 years of revolving around her needs (delusions). Finally got pprimary custody, no child support, and still paying maintenance.
