Legal Question in Family Law in Indiana
Step Parent Rights
My ex husband and I have joint legal and physically custody of our children. He has remarried and I do not feel that it is within the legal rights of his new wife to sign school or medical documents for the children. Can you direct me?

Re: Step Parent Rights
If the school or medical people will allow it, there is no law saying she can not. However, you are entitled to make the decisions with your ex husband and if she is making decisions, then you may have cause to seek a contempt against your ex husband.
