Not within a divorce case, the court cannot. If your spouse is a danger to himself or others when not taking medication, they can be ordered through an involuntary mental illness court case. Best wishes.

It can be done, but there are powerful obstacles in light of the fact that this is a free country. Consult a lawyer well versed in family law who need be able to show you what needs to be done and how, in some cases, you can do it.
