Annual physicals...need advice
      11/25/08 07:10 PM

Because of the custodial parent's failure to do so, my husband had been taking the kids for all annual exams (physicals, eye exams and 1 of 2 dental check ups) since 2004. He scheduled these like clockwork and notified the ex 1) prior to scheduling to let her know his intent 2) when scheduled so she could mark the calendar and 3) a week or two prior to the exam so she could write early dismissals from school and notify the babysitter.

In March 2008 she decided that there was some impropriety on his part and asserted that SHE would be taking the kids for all annual exams from that point forward. He provided her with a list of the last dates of annual exams. In June he asked for further clarification since she asserted ANNUAL only (she plays with words). He wanted to make sure WHO would be handling the 2 exams that would have fallen during his summer parenting time (they were bi-annual). She came back again and stated that SHE would be handling ALL exams.

We are now approaching December and the exams that should have been done previously have not been done, nor have they been scheduled. The exams coming up in December have also not been scheduled.

He has the kids at the first half of the Christmas break this year and can spend 3 of the 4 parenting time days that he has schlepping them to these exams (Christmas Day is the only day he couldn't schedule anything). His point of view is that he will simply make sure that the kids have the exams they need. I agree, but...

Since she made such a fuss about this, if he goes and takes the kids anyway without notifying her, can she cause a legal problem? He feels that if she does decide to take something like this "legal" she will get laughed out of the court since HE is the only one showing concern for the kids health and well being. I've learned that nothing could be further from the truth.

Having her [censored] and moan is nothing new, so I don't care about upsetting her, simply by breathing, he upsets her. I want to know if there is anything "legally" wrong with what he wants to do and I'd like to know now so there is time to cancel the appointments if necessary.
