mentally ill husband

What is the name of your state? Virginia
My husband simply left one day after he found out his X wife had died.. he ( went of the deep end) he returned cars back to banks.. Did all kinds of Crazy things. He is 100 pecent disabled veteran, with a mental illness.. i spoke with his VA doctors and had him TDO to the hosp.. they let him go.. as did his doctor.. We are in court.. i won spousal support.. but havent been able to collect any.. the court would not put him in jail .. they decided to give him a gardian.. which over the last month still is not prepared to be served on him.. now he is missing .. no one knows where he is..

I first asked my lawyer how do i help him .. how do i get him in the hosp.. he said i need a divorce.. now the court sees he is not in his right might .. i have also been told i cant divorce a ( crazy) person.. Lawyer said it was to hard to prove someone incompantant.. i dont know seems the judge in rke found him that way...
what do i do and what can be done?
thank you

YOu have an attorney. That is the person who should be advising you far more than we should or could.

Quite realistically -- if your husband is 100% disabled, how do you expect him to pay you spousal support?
And why can't you work and support yourself?

Who told you you can't divorce him?

im not worried about getting support.. more of getting him some help. My Lawyer told me i can not divorce a ( crazy) person.. i dont want a divorce i wanted to help my husband.. you know in sickness and in health your suppose to be there for your other half. My lawyer is the one that went after support.. i went to him to see how to get help for him .. seems he turned it into any other case walking in his door.. oh she needs a divorce.. I told him he didnt listen to me.. i wanted to get him help!

Then you need to get a new attorney. You need to file to drop the divorce and file for guardianship of your husband if you really want to get him help.
