Скачать или смотреть Why non-emergency health decision-making authority is important

What happens if you're divorced, and your child is diagnosed with ADHD and one parent wants to medicate the child and the other does not?

Here in Georgia, if you share joint legal custody, you and the co-parent are required to have a good faith discussion before deciding to medicate the child. After that good faith discussion takes place, if the parties cannot agree, the parent that has final decision on non-emergency medical issues is going to be the parent that gets to make this decision, even if it's over your objection.

This can be a very hot topic as many people don't agree on whether it's appropriate to medicate or not to medicate a child that is diagnosed with ADHD. So, when you come up with your parenting plan in your divorce case, you want to make sure that you strongly consider non-emergency health decision making authority.
