What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? oHIo
I have a child that was diagnosed with the mildest form of the mildest form of autism called ppd-nos 4 years ago and his Dr stated he may grow out of it by the age of 6-7. He is 6 1/2 now I believe he has "caught up" with his peers at school. I do not have legal custody of him.
I have asked my X if I should set up an appt. for him to be tested again. (I make all of the eye/ear/dental/and reg Dr appts) My X stated he did not want me to do so.
Our previous appt for all of the testing was supposed to be covered by some state funded program for autism. It was not and his father and I ended up paying quite a bit of out of pocket expenses.
I did state to my X that whatever the co-pays were and out of pocket were I would pay more than the % of the medical bill than I was ordered to pay in the divorce decree. He still said NO.
Things have changed he is in contempt has not paid me the $ he owes me on the property settlement in 6 mos, he is out of work, has let the medical insurance lapse on our son and can not qualify for medicaid, so I did qualify and get medicaid for our children. Question...Am I allowed to schedule an appt for the Dr..the autism specialist that takes medicaid and take our son to see him on one of my visitation days??
Thank you
