A: It really depends on two things. First, what does your final judgment and/or marital settlement agreement say about this? Second, what is the purpose of the children going to the doctor? There is no one right answer to your question, it really depends on the facts and circumstances. It would therefore makes sense to consider meeting with an attorney who can review any court orders or court judgments, and discuss exactly why the children are being taken to the doctor as well asWhether or not the other parent is attempting to make decisions regarding healthcare.
