Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

You really need to address this issue with an attorney. There are too many questions for this forum. First, how disabled is this child? Secondly, as a non-custodial parent - this would be cosidered a major decisions that should be agreed by both parties. However, if the disability is severe, you can get a court order to allow this but there will be necessary documentation for this.

Yes, both parties must agree to a decision like this one jointly. If the nursing facility is medically necessary, however, and neither parent can raise the child, a judge would likely order it if the parents disagreed. Realize, though, that the minute a parent says, "I'm putting our child in a facility," the other parent will probably say, "No, I'll take our child," and a judge will probably agree. If the second parent refuses to take the child, a judge will probably say, "Fine, the child needs to be in a facility."
