The Father has visitation every other weekend. The mother says the father cannot take the child to the doctor on the weekend he has her unless he contacts the mother first. Mother said she notified clinic not to see child if she is brought in by grandparents or father. Is this legal or how it works???

Things concerning the child, like dr visits, school and so on, should have been taken care of during the custody hearing, and put on paper. Seeing you have joint custody, it should be a joint decision. If the child needs to see a doctor while in your care, I would take him or her, either that or take him or her to the emergency room. Denying medical care is wrong and should be brought up in court. If you need to call the mother, do it after you have gotten there. I also dont believe the clinic can legally refuse to see someone. If they refuse, take them somewhere else.

That's not joint custody, that's sole custody by the mother. If your paper's say joint custody, you need to go back to court and straighten this out.

That's not legal. If the child is sick and needs medical attention it's considered neglect not the seek the proper help.
