A: Your options are limited. Forcibly detaining your wife yourself could lead to criminal charges against you. If you think her mental health is in question, call Metro and find out whether her behavior merits a mental health evaluation and hold (sometimes called a “legal 2000”); see explanation here. Otherwise, you could seek a legal separation or divorce, or if you do not wish to end the marriage and believe that your wife is in need of a guardian, seek one — see here. You may want to consult with an attorney regarding any of these options.
