Does anyone know the legalities of requiring consent by both parents for 3rd parties using your child's image on public/media mediums? (facebook/webpages, news print, etc) for activities the child is engaged in??
Background:
Since separation (2011) I've taken my D7 to horse riding lessons. It's been a growing passion of hers but more importantly its been therapeutic to her in managing the stress and change as a result of a HC separation. My X has openly despised any such activity I take my daughter too of which I now know is fuelled by jealousy of me and my daughter having a bond in the activity. I pay for it out of my own pocket as the X refuses to acknowledge it as a sect 7 expense to be shared in proportion of our incomes. She has even visited the stables twice and then went on a tyrant email filled with derogatory and manufactured allegations against the stable owners of their business and operations. Within the email, she made comment that my daughter's image (her riding a pony while at a show) was posted on the stables facebook page and demanded they remove it as she did not give her consent to the stables to post our daughters image. However I signed a waiver with the stables to allow it previously.
This is in contrast to my X providing consent to the Dance studio where the studio has a pic of my daughter on their website. I have not raised a fuss over this as I don't see it as an issue as the intent of both pics (stables and dance studio) are not using her image in a nefarious way. The X also signed a consent form for our daughters school to use her image with no issue.
Our separation states:
"The parent residing with D7 at the relevant time will make the daily decisions affecting her welfare."
"Both parties will remain at all times maintain a reasonable and flexible position respecting the residency arrangements for D7 and at all times the best interest of D7 shall prevail. Accordingly, if special occasions or activities becomes available, both parties shall remain flexible to allow D7 to participate in such opportunities"
We have joint custody in all decision making for health, education and activities.
In closing, while the child is with me on my time, as per our separation, do I need my X's consent to have my daughters image used by a 3rd party. ie riding stables???
any legal insight on this would be appreciated.
thank you.
