What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? WI
We just settled out placement/custody suit on October. In that suit, it was ordered that any prescriptions prescribed by their pediatrician be given to the children. They have suffered with asthma their whole lives. They are experiencing less symptoms as they get older, but their doctor decided they should take a preventative medication once daily through the winter months to reduce exacerbations. Now, 2 weeks after court is out, the father is refusing to give the children their medication, refusing to attend an appointment with the doctor regarding this, and is threatening to switch their medical care to a center which is 10 minutes closer to his home, even though the kids have seen the same doctor their entire lives. He has the kids during the school year. We live 30 minutes away from each other, and their doctor is centrally located for both families. I spent over 7,000 getting the settlement finalized and franky do not have any money for an attorney. I am wondering how to request a hearing before the judge regarding enforcing this issue on the medication. What kind of a hearing is it and how can I file for it w/o an attorney? I actually attended our final hearing without my lawyer, and won more than she was trying to get me to agree to, so I do not think the judge has a very good feeling about the father. I do not want to irritate the judge by not filing this properly with an attorney, but I believe there must be a way to have this heard without paying a lawyer. TIA**************
