Only way I could see anything working would be if maybe you put it like this:
you: Your honor, I am petitioning for sole legal/physical/medical.
judge: on what grounds
you: stbx is mentally impaired and has threatened suicide, here is exhibit A, the note she left. Here is exhibit B: receipt for gun and ammunition she purchased.
And that is it.
Otherwise, all you might do is tick the judge off. Don't argue with him, and don't think that you can out shout him. State it calmly and MOVE ON.
will it work? I have no idea. But anything in which all you do is try to show how bad a person SHE is will backfire and you MIGHT end up with the EOW screwjob.
Good luck, and keep your head Marine......
quick edit: fantasies of you being able to grill the stbx on the stand are more than likely just that. Fantasies. Try to concentrate on being DAD, and let her hang herself with her BS.
When your ex says .. you will never find anyone like me .. and you reply .. God I sure hope not...
