[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 259235, member: 1233"] The situation stinks. Any chance of dad losing custody due to medical neglect? Not taking your child to the psychiatrist, or allowing him to go to the psychiatrist, when he has bipolar and other problems is medical neglect if anything is. Since he is 16 any change in custody will likely be up to him if neither parent is declared unfit. So even if medical neglect isn't an issue there should be no problem getting custody changed. Maybe this next thought is out of line, but who would know if he saw a psychiatrist if no one told him about hte legal custody issue until later? Would a doctor even know if ANYONE had custody if no one told him? I have never been divorced, but I also have never had anyone ask me if I had legal custody so I have no clue here. I think our docs all just assume you would not be taking a child to the doctor if you didn't have custody. I could be wrong. Anyway, the mom needs to make the custody change ahppen ASAP if this kid is on these medications. Whatever is going on, you are making a very positive influence in this kid's life. I am glad he has you. [/QUOTE]
