My question is do he have the right to do thoses things and do I have right to go to court and ask the judge to honor my legal rights?

Those decisions must be made jointly no matter where the children physically are, if you have true joint legal custody. If you cannot agree, you must go to court and let the court decide. The step mother has no rights and he cannot delegate them to her with a power of attorney. If he will not make the decisions jointly with you, you need to take him back to court.
