Consent from both. Please help.


What is the name of your state? New Jersey


I have a 2 year old son. When he was born I did not have him circumcised. (Long Story) I have changed my mind and would like to have it done. He keeps getting rashes etc down there and I think its best to have it done and easier to potty train. and I want him to look in my opinion normal. However, I am divorced now and my husband will not sign the consent form to have it done. I have doctor reports stating that he has constant rashes, penile adhesions and phimosis. But they will not perform the surgery without both parent signatures. My question is what steps do I have to take to over ride my x husband? Will I have to pay a lawyer to have a judge to give me the ok? and what are the chances the judge will allow me to do it?

You will need a court order signed by a judge giving you sole right to make this medical decision. Or you will need dad's agreement if you have joint legal custody. YOu do not necessarily need an attorney.

Nothing stated by me should be taken as giving you legal advice or forming an attorney/client relationship. The devil is in the details after all.
