The continuance is only a 2 week extention. I'm really glad you mentioned guardianship, I just wish I would of thought of it way before this happened. If I had guardianship of him, he could have easily used my medical & prescription insurance for his treatment & medication! So I'm off to find out, "If he does (which he probably will) get sentenced to prison, can I still get guardianship over him while he's in prison?"
I had also mentioned guardianship to my son & he's happy to sign any paperwork to help...thank you again!

Ask your sons attorney about having him declared incompetent ( i.e. making you the guardian). It is routinely done, although proper medical paperwork would be required to substantiate your sons need. Hopefully in light of his extreme mental state, he can avoid jail which will do little to help him with his illness.
I'm thrilled to see a glimmer of hope for you. Post back and tell me how things are going for you.
Only the best...
