Re: child neglect

When was he granted this visitation? If this is an old order, seek to have it modified on the basis that he has failed to establish a relationship with her. If this is a new order, you can at least petition the court with regard to her medication if he refuses to cooperate. Allergies come and go though so, in fact, maybe she doesn't need it ... be prepared to PROVE that she does need it if you take this route.
