[QUOTE="DDD, post: 554778, member: 35"] If your husband does have custodial rights (in writing) there is no reason that I am aware of why he can not access all the past school records (which would likely include neuro/psychiatric evaluations) and likely references or actual physical copies of medical reports from MDs, tdocs or psychiatrists who had contact with his son. If, on the other hand, he does not have legal custodial rights it's going to be next to impossible. Frankly, even if it makes you cringe, it is common for step Moms to post here and seek answers while the bioDad is not as emotionally invested. It does not mean the Dads are "bad" it is just, in my humble opinion, the difference between the sexes. More often than not when there is a separation or divorce the Dads just try to avoid the bioMoms as it limits the stress etc. So...if that is the case...you need to have a heart to heart talk with your husband and see what HE is prepared to do. if he's "working too hard" or "can't deal with bioMom" or says "you're so much better than I am at this sort of thing and I trust your judgement". Go for a walk around the block or to the mall and accept that you can not accept this responsibility because you have no power. Plus the teen needs his Dad to be #1. Yes, if a child is diagnosed as disabled they can begin getting checks at a very young age and usually free medical care as well as medications. As they near 18 there are new papers to be completed and new exams to be done to ascertain what if any disabilities will interfere with independent adult functioning. If you have a childhood history the phase up is much easier. It is a long road to travel but if he truly does not seem capable of independent living, of holding down employment etc...you should go for it. Good luck. DDD [/QUOTE]
