Legal Question in Family Law in Michigan
My ex husband and I share physical/legal custody of our son. We have been divorced for 7 years, however he is still very hostile towards me. I am not "allowed", according to his wife, to call him so all of our communication is via e-mail.
My son was recently diagnosed with several illnesses (non-viral hepititis, micro-penis, high cholesteral, obesity and insulin resistance) that require medication, however my ex is refusing to allow me to give them to him because he disagrees with the severity of his illness and says that he doesn't want any medication to be given.
My question is...why, just because he says no, do I have to conform? I too have 50% custody of my son and I want to give him the medication necessary to help with these illnesses. Can I just go ahead and give it to him or would that put me in voilation of the court order?

You hit it on the head. You don't agree on the most basic issues with regard to your son. Therefore, you should not have joint legal custody. You should file a motion to terminate the joint legal and request sole legal custody for yourself, based upon his failure to follow medical directives.
