What is the name of your state? WA
How is joint medical handled? My DD needs a tonsillectomy. X knows she has had strep problems in past and that this year it is out of control. Do I just inform X and assume it is kosher if he doesn't object or do I have to ask permission?
Some of you know my situation, raised DD by myself for 13+ yrs. no orders, no child support. X has visited with DD through the years, but has taken no parenting responsibilities. X filed for custody 1/07. X is in the crapper with the court and now has no visitation. We have a temp order and at the time the order was put in place my attorney said all I have to do is inform X when taking DD to doctor etc...Of course we didn't figure on major decisions and I read the order as joint decisions for medical.
I am waiting on input from attorney, but he is taking forever as he is "in the middle of a big case" according to his paralegal assistant.
