Q: Can a non-custodial parent admit a minor child for mental health treatment without the parent with sole custody's permis
I have sole custody of my child. My son was in my care. I dropped him for IEP testing for school. When I returned, he was gone. He claimed to have thoughts of self harm and Dr called his father and police. Father admitted him to inpatient psych without my consent. No one, dr, police, father, did not contact me before doing this. Father did not list me as a person to even have access to his medical information.
A:
Without more details about your case, it is difficult to provide you with an answer. If the father has legitimated, he is afforded certain rights and privileges equal to the custodial parent’s.
