Legal Question in Family Law in California
Hi, I live in California and have 50/50 joint and legal custody with my son, I also have a restraining order against the mother. My son currently has Medi-cal which was set up by the mother, she is refusing to add my name to my son�s Medi-cal account or send me a copy of his card. Is filing a request for order the way to go about my situation?

Yes, and I would ask the court that if she refuses to cooperate with this very essential matter for your child's well being that it reduce the amount of time that he spends with her, and increase the time that your son spends with you.l
I agree that you should file a motion, but would suggest that you request a court order that she add your name to the medical account. That if she fails to do so within 5 days that the court clerk can sign for her. Also amend the custody order to give you sole power to make medical and school decisions for the child. I would ask for a reduction in her time share only if her contact with the child is detrimental.
