My ex and I currently have joint custody with 50/50 access. We have attended 5 case conferences but nothing has been resolved yet other then the temporary order regarding our current Custody/Access/Schedule.
My ex is convinced that my son that he has an allergy to milk based on her personal philosophy that milk is not 'safe' for consumption. My son has never displayed any symptoms of a milk allergy while in my care. She has send numerous emails regarding my son's consumption of dairy in my home, stating that she has researched milk allergies and to stop giving him milk.
Understanding the importance of dairy in my son's diet, I not only give him milk but I provide a calcium supplement for the lack of dairy he receives in his diet while he is in my ex's care.
I have setup an appointment with our family doctor to talk about my concerns and get a referral for allergy testing. I advised my ex of the appointment and she responded by stating that she does not agree that our son be subjected to a prick test.
I have not yet discussed testing with the doctor so I am not certain what procedure is called for with this type of test and I told her that I would discuss the matter with her when I have spoken the his doctor and have more information.
I realize that I am pushing it here and that allergy testing would be something that we would normally need to agree on but in light of her self-diagnosis, I feel that these tests are in my sons best interests.
How should I proceed?
