Yeap - in fact the doctor's office is legally obliged to give you the information unless there's a court order specifically prohibiting you from obtaining that information.

Agree, having joint legal custody, you have every right to be fully informed of the details of your child's medical history. (unless, as stated above, there is a court order prohibiting you from obtaining the information)

The mother seems to think i have to let her know and she said we have to go together for my consultation. There is no court order stating this i just have general joint legal. I know in the future if our child is ill and i need to take him to the doctor i need to notify her right away of course! But good to know for a private consult she would not have to b involved. Thank you!

What does order say about the child & taking him to dr. for medical appointments/illness, talking to the doctor etc.
Thanks. (This is what you posted: "Without the mother coming or knowing i have made this appt. Correct? I know if i am taking my son for an illness i need to let her know.." - We need word for word in the order about this - that is what Proserpina was asking for. Is that in the order?)

Why do you need Moms ok to make an appointment? If so does Mom get your approval before Doctor visits?
She is very hard to work with!! I keep trying to have the best relationship possible,but om this on i just want to b correct. I thinlk she has Been telling me falsehoods about my son medically and i have told her i will make my own private appt. To discuss and be updated by his doc. And she tells me well u know....i will have to b there too! That is not my interpretation of the "joint legal" custody guidelines. As far as me being able to have my own private consult. She will b here later today and wantto b able to tell NO, i can have a private consult without u. Yes, she has private ones without ME.

Why not call Doctor?

You don't have to tell anyone what you do.
I've found it's better to keep my big mouth shut and keep what I do private. I also don't ask other adults what they do, as its NONE of my business.
When you stop blabbing about everything, people give you space and privacy.
You aren't together because you don't get along.
Keep your conversations to hello and goodbye.
The only exception is to discuss your child's emergent needs. The less said the better.
