Step-Mom Took My Daughter to the Chiropractor

I'm sorry I wasn't clear! Her dad is not allowed to take her to appointments without my knowledge and approval. In this instance I was not made aware of the appointment until after it happened.

Did he say why he decided that she needed a chiropractic adjustment?

I was told that scoliosis runs in their family. This also brought me concern because I was never made aware of this and she is in sports and martial arts.

Unacceptable. If your daughter gets regular well exams, the pediatrician checks for this. Taking a kid for an unnecessary appointment for "what if" reasons is weird, and in this case, not allowed.

It's my understanding that she's not allowed to do this but am I correct and what can I do to prevent this happening in the future?

Is there a custody and support order in effect? If so, does the order actually have a provision to the effect of, "Dad can't take the child to any medical appointments without mom's approval"?

So there is a court order that addresses these issues? If so, then dad's paternity will have been adjudicated within the context of the proceeding that resulted in that order, whether or not you and he followed through to correct the child's birth certificate.
