[QUOTE="klmno, post: 221994, member: 3699"] It probably varies from state to state, but here, I have been told that if both parents have joint custody, they both have to be in agreement to have the kid on medications. And even if they don't have joint custody, tdocs/psychiatrists have said that many time the "other" parent makes a stink and causes problems if they aren't in agreement. That being said, if one is refusing medications for the kid and doctors have said it is in the best interest of the kid, the other parent can take it to court and get a court order requiring the refusing parent to abide. I don't know how you could make sure that the medications were being given during overnight visits though. It's a bad situation, in my humble opinion, because those of us trying to work with our kids and their issues sure don't need anyone else telling the difficult child that this is not a good thing for them. I don't think it doees the kid any favors to get mixed messages like that. [/QUOTE]
