[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do you address co-parenting when one parent is sometimes MIA when you have multiple children and the child with special needs is prone to periods of instability and sometimes requires two adults? I'm asking both in terms of an agreement and also in terms of just having a plan. Do you have a person on call? We don't have family nearby so would that be a professional? What kind of professional? What do you spell out in the agreement when you have custody but might need help when there is an emergency? [b]What do you put in the agreement in terms of your rights to seek emergency action like hospitalization?[/b][/quote]

Our agreement spells out that the parent with the child is able to consent to hospitalization for a period of 72 hours without consent of the other parent, and after 72hours continued hospitalization requires the consent of both parents, and we have a parenting coordinator who is supposed to help us with those moments.

We have not put those terms to the test because all hospitalizations to date were under a different agreement in which one parent had medical tie-breaker and did not require consent of the other parent. [/quote]
