My daughter is the custodial parent of a 12 year old son and dad has him every other weekend and half of the summer. My grandson has struggled in school since kindergarten. He was held back in 1st grade but continues to struggle and is currently in the 6th grade. He is failing all his classes even with extra assistance at school, modified work, and a private tutor a couple of times per week. He has been diagnosed 5 times by different doctor's and psychiatrist's over the years but dad still refuses to believe that his son has ADHD and is adamant about not medicating him. Can my daughter, as the custodial parent, go against her son's dad and medicate their son?
