Legal Question in Family Law in New York
If divorced parents have joint custody of a 19 year old boy, does the father have the right to make himself power of attorney without the mothers knowledge or concent.
If it is not possible has the attorney that signed the papers breaking any laws or codes of conduct?

The power of attorney (POA) would be at the request of the son and not the father. Since the son is over 18, he has the capacity to sign a POA without the consent of the mother.
