Q: Can my son father take me to court to for me allowing my son to be in my care because he sick and require medication?
We have a custody agreement where he gets weekend vista and I have sole custody. He's been sick in his father care during his weekend visit. the doctor recommend my son take medication for 8wks. I've let his father know that he will be with me until his condition improves. His father verbally said he will take me to court. Am I liable because following doctor instruction for them to determine where did it came from?
A:
It doesn't sound like your child's pediatrician instructed you to withhold visitation from Dad; rather, only that your son take medication for 8 weeks. Is there any reason the medication can't be given to Dad to administer to your son during weekend visitation?
Sounds like your son's father has a good case against you. Include your son's father in the medical treatment, and follow the court order. Best of luck to you.
