bipolar custody

Does the law discriminate against mothers in custody battles if bipolar?
The court did not "discriminate." However, do look the big picture. And some people with bipolar disorder is not treated or controlled properly may not be able to provide a stable environment for their children. If you are under the care of a doctor, take medication regularly, and do not experience any negative event (and not for a significant period of time) you should be fine. Indeed episodes one could argue that they are sufficiently able to manage their disease and not let it affect your life. However, if you are not stable on medication and have manic-depressive experienced lately, and have shown symptoms that could negatively affect their children, the court will consider it. The court has to take all information they have, both good and bad, and the best to decide which parent can usually provide the best environment for children.
