Well I hate to break it to you but sometimes the disgruntled parent who is "imposing rules" gets very creative in what happens with appointments.... mom in our case cancels appointments or reschedules without consult. Even though it's dad who initiated the appointment on his access time. This is even for routine dental cleanings etc. So he books time off work only to find out she has moved it.
And the imposing rule parent can keep kid at home or refuse kid to go to appointment. So consent required aside, there are many ways to be willfully destructive.
All the doctors get calls about what happened even if mom is given a full account of the appointment. Its maddening. And it's hard to keep up on all this sh@t and take the time to adjust calendars and time off when you have to work to keep your chin above water and pay your support on time.
So, in theory - yes a custodial parent can make an appointment. Easier said than done sometimes!
