Dear parsons: Greetings. That parent can file a Motion to Show Cause and ask that parent to be held in contempt. The parent can also file a custody action and ask for sole custody, depending on the treatment selected, the disregard shown for the other parent, and other circumstances. Thank you. Janet L.

If a mother and father each have equal legal joint and physical custody of a 7 year old and a court order that states both parents have to mutually agree on non-emergency medical care, what are the consequences of one parent going against the wishes of the other parent as far as medical care that other parent is completely against.
