The parent to whom she is married needs a power of attorney for medical treatment. It's a good idea. You never know when a child may be hurt and giving her a power of attorney is a good way to ensure that the kids receive immediate medical care with no delays.

You can take them to the Dr. But getting medical records might be an issue. My husbands custody agreement specifically states that I'm allowed to have access to medical & school records so if anyone tries to give me a hard time I have "proof" that I'm allowed that information. Making major medical decisions is another story and is usually a decision left for the bio parents.

I live in california and when my husband took my son to get a shot which was needed, they would'nt give it to him because he was not a biological parent. He needed my permission in writing to kept on file. My understanding from them is that it only takes the permission of ONE biological parent for any med info, treatment etc.

None unless you surrender your rights, and all if you don't come to your children's aid when they need you.
