Can the court make you take a mental health program? what happens if you refuse to comply?
Me and my ex-girlfriend have a 9-year-old daughter. She falsely accusing me of attacking her and assaulting her when I went to drop my daughter off. Which is not true, and got me arrested a week later when i went to get my daughter ( i have every other weekend visit) Now, we in court i was assigned to get to parenting class from the NYSPCC.
I finish the parent class and got my certification. I been going also to supervised with good reports, and never miss a visit. Now, the defense attorney trying to put in this mental health program! Any advice how to bypass this issue? i have a public lawyer, but seem he following what the people are saying...

To start with I think you probably mean the prosecuting attorney in
line #2 of your second paragraph. The defense attorney is YOUR
lawyer. I would advise you to talk to your lawyer and tell him that
you feel there is no need for you to attend a mental health program.
It is up to your lawyer to argue this issue for you. Should the
prosecutor be successful and get an order from the judge that you
must attend a mental health program you will want to comply with
such order. If you refuse, you can be arrested and charged with
"breach of a court order." You can then be put in jail and/or be
forced to attend the mental health program.

1) Ye Olde Justice system can order whatever it deems necessary to insure the protection of your daughter.
2) Toss you in jail for failing to comply with a court order, be very prejudiced against you when your ex demands denial of future visitation, suspend visitation until you do comply.

change counsel. evidence is required to make you undergo a mental health program and, as far as you relate, there is none so far. it is your attorney's job to stick up for your rights in this
