Court Order for psychiatric assessment of mental health
6 months ago
I am a homemaker in Chennai. My husband has been showing signs of mental health problems and is showing violent behaviour. He refuses to go for psychiatric assessment and treatment. My in-laws are refusing to recognise the problem.
How do I obtain a court order directing my husband to undergo psychiatric assessment and treatment? Are there any documents required in order to get the court order? How long does the process usually take? What will be the approximate legal fees I will be charged for getting the court order?
Can you please suggest some Mental Health Lawyers in Chennai for me to contact to get the court order?
A.Dear Client,
In India, you may need to approach the Magistrate's Court to seek an order for a psychiatric assessment. Document instances of your husband's violent behavior and any other relevant evidence that suggests he may have a mental health issue. This evidence may be crucial in court. Your lawyer will help you file a petition requesting a psychiatric assessment and treatment for your husband. You will need to explain the reasons for your request and provide supporting evidence. The court may order a medical examination of your husband by a qualified psychiatrist to assess his mental health condition. The legal fees for this process can vary depending on the complexity of your case and the lawyer you hire. You should discuss the fees with your chosen lawyer during your initial consultation. The duration of the legal process can vary depending on the court's schedule and the specific circumstances of your case.
