Another reader offers some suggestions
In June, one of our readers asked the following questions:
• What do you do when the non-custodial parent abruptly halts the child's medication?
• What if that parent also spends an entire summer telling your kid that the routines you've worked hard to establish are unnecessary?
Here's another mom's experience with these issues:
I have been divorced for 11 years now; and have been that whole route through the courts concerning a parent who is in denial about the child's problems.
You can get supervised visitation, at least in Oregon where my divorce was completed, based upon medical neglect; which is not giving medicine that was prescribed by a doctor.
Also, not 'believing' the Custodial Parent when there are expert reports and such was also considered parental neglect.
You have to achieve this by getting a forensic psychological evaluation completed on ALL parties. You, Dad and the child. This has to be requested by you to the court. Make sure that you have a GOOD lawyer who has a good track record, uh winning, with psychological evaluations. The psychologist then makes a recommendation to the court, which the Judge 99% of the time will abide by.
Mine picked a very good one, who was very adamant that NCP's have equal access, and I still received a supervised visiation recommendation.
