Will the state make that person a ward of the state?
My dad wants to get a divorce from my mom. They have been married for 30 to 40 years. She has always had mental illness. She has also been in and out of mental hospitals for years. She has been in about 6 times. My dad has also had to call the police on her and she spent two weeks in Jail. My mom has paranoid Schizophrenia with delusional disorder. She is very violent towards my dad. It is not safe to be around her especially for my dad. She claims that she wants my dad dead. I am helping my dad look at how to start divorce and what will happen. I need to know how does he go about this and what will happen to my mom. Because no one in my family has the money to support her or keep her in a mental hospital which she needs to be in indefinably.
