Joint Legal Custody - failure to inform

[Just Blue]

Okay, I understand. I'm sorry - I did not mean to offend anyone or to come across as wasting time
Yes, it is on me - and I made a mistake to put that much detail out there
I am trying to find information on my own because it saves me money from having to get in touch with my attorney
I was under the impression that this site is for advice, guidance, assistance - and I apologize for any disrespect

Ahhh...So you are not Pro Se. You have an attorney.

Do what the Pro Se do....

This is not the exact same topic - completely different

Yeah...It is. Same kid. Same Father issue. Same topic.

You have an attorney. We cannot, and indeed SHOULD NOT, second-guess your attorney.

You're welcome.

I have not been able to get in touch with lawyer - he's been busy. And hasn't got back regarding other issues

Is there a place where I can find out about the rules/specifics behind the details of Joint Legal Custody if it's uncomfortable to answer?

Your state web site.

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Michigan

The ex and I have joint legal custody of our daughter.

If i understand correctly: we must, and I mean by law, MUST keep each other informed as to educational, medical, religious/spiritual/faith decisions and make the decisions together??

That being said, if one of us fails, on multiple occasions, to respond to the others questions regarding these matters - is there anything that can be done / are there repercussions? What are the steps to 'take care'/fix this?

Thanks

I hope that you realize that no one can answer this, because it depends on the "failure".

If you can't work together, then you go back to court and amend the order to indicate who is responsible for what.

If one parent is endangering the child's life by refusing to follow dr orders, or taking the kid to some quack for some dangerous dubious medical treatment, you address that more directly. Depending on how dire the danger to the child's health, there could even be a change in the parenting plan, putting restrictions on the parenting time of the one believed to be endangering the child.

You are making mountains out of molehills.

Depending on the severity of what the issue is, you are saying that it would have to go to court - understood - thank you
I'm not making anything, I am just asking a simple question

Any luck with your attorney?

In your previous thread, you alluded to an issue with Dad not keeping you informed of religious decisions he's making for the child.

I can tell you from experience that you're going to get nowhere with that as far as contempt unless Dad is joining a cult or refusing legitimate medical care because of his religious beliefs. Just taking kiddo to church, or getting her Baptized, or anything like that just isn't going to be any more of an issue than Dad forgetting to tell you he gave kiddo Tylenol for a toothache.

Okay - thank you!
I'm asking because things are getting really out of hand, especially the past two days. I'm keeping tracking of everything and ensuring what info I need to have prepared if needed.

Yes, I finally spoke with him. Besides this, which is very minor I know (I just wanted to know for when things will escalate); my attorney is going to be contacting his attorney because there are other issues that have happened the past 2 days and are getting worse.

All in all, I am doing my best not to react to him... that's what he wants and is fueling for. I need to be prepared for what will really matter in the courts eyes, and what issues are going to be relevant and those brushed aside.

Thank you
