Good morning,

I'm sorry to hear of your dilemma.

Your ex is full of bologna. He will never convince a court that you are an unfit mother and take custody of your son from you. Generally, a parent may be deemed unfit if they have been abusive, neglectful, or failed to provide proper care for the child. A parent with an untreated mental disturbance, or an addiction to drugs or alcohol, may also be found to be an unfit parent. Failure to visit, to provide support, or incarceration of a parent are other examples of grounds for being found to be unfit.

Your bipolar disorder, which is fully under control medically, will not provide the basis for a change in custody under the laws of North Dakota.

I wish you well.
