The mother of my 6 year old child has been taken into hospital after a mental health relapse - she has been sectioned after a bad episode. She has been ill since before my child was born over 6 years ago with bipolar/depression related illness'. With the blessing of her family I have assumed full custody of my child until she is released from hospital, a recovery will not happen overnight as she had stopped taking her medication and needs to rebuild etc. She is a very good Mum whom I currently share unooficial custody with but I am concerned that she will demand her back full time as soon as she feels better, gven that this could put my child "at risk", I would like some advice please - should I involve social services in case this scenraio arises? should I take legal advice? would I be granted temporary full custody in any case? Any advice appreciated.

You need to keep your child AWAY from her until she is "better"

Go to court and make an emergency Motion for Custody. However, if you weren't married this may be a challenge unless you've had a DNA test or are on the birth certificate. I'm not sure how long a Section lasts; in the States it can be as little as 72 hours. She can demand return of the child the minute she's out of the hospital if you don't get a court order.
