    Default Re: Can Ex-Wife List Dad As Responsible for Medical Bills

    To clarify, the allergy clinic didn't provide me with much medical information to speak of; I can't imagine it was anything confidential as it was pretty straightforward information of a rather general nature about medications. And son's mom actually ASKED ME to take him to some of his allergy appointments (as they were inconvenient to her), at which time I asked questions about proper administration of his medications (since he is with us half the time and mom told us conflicting information about dosages) and what to watch for and what he should have available at school for an emergency (son knew he was supposed to have medications at school, but mom didn't want to pay for them). Mom was always aware of everything I did and in most if not all cases, asked me to do it. I do realize I have no legal parental rights and I've tried to be careful of that - only be helpful for the sake of my step-son and to always make sure mom knew anything I did, ahead of time so far as possible. As for the courts being unfair to fathers, my husband has had some extremely bad experiences (nightmareish even) that this opinion is based on, so I can see why he feels this way.

    Maybe it is because your husband has not actually stepped up to do the things he is supposed to do. The clinic should not have given YOU any information without a proper release being signed. I also note you blame mom that the appointments were inconvenient to her so that is why YOU had to do it. Where was your darling husband -- the father of the child? Apparently it was inconvenient for him as well. Why hasn't your husband stepped up to the plate? Why is he letting you do the parenting while he does nothing but cry that the courts are unfair?
