Legal Question in Family Law in Maryland

Re: Forgery

Mr. Sher is correct. You should notify all health care providers. In addition, I would provide all health care providers, daycare providers, school administration etc. with a certified/true test copy of any court order that grants you sole custody of your child.

Forgery is a serious criminal matter. I cannot advise you as to whether you should consult with a Commissioner to proceed with possible criminal charges. You should also consult with your insurance company/security or fraud division regarding the unauthorized signature.

Re: Forgery

First of all, you should immediately notify the doctor involved in this and any other health care providers what occurred. As the sole custodian, only you can make health care decisions for your child, unless there is an emergency during visitation and you can't be contacted by the father.

If possible, you ought to discuss this with your ex, and try to work out an arrangement so that this doesn't happen again. After all, it's your child's health that is potentially at stake here.
