Hi all,
Hoping to get some advice. We have been taking my step son to see a psychologist over the past year. He is already diagnosed with ASD. The psychologist conducted a school visit and recommended a cognitive assessment due to several concerns. Mother was invited to be a part of appointments and advised she did not wish to. Father still kept mum up to date regarding the psychologist's opinion and recommendation for the assessment.
Unfortunately the cognitive assessment had to be postponed due to the mother withholding the child from us back in May. We have since tried to reschedule the assessment to be advised that the mother has contacted the psychologist, and the psychologist only wants to proceed with the assessment if both parents are agreeable. Unfortunately, the mother is not responding to the psychologist or my partner about the same.
The child now has an ICL. Do we file an affidavit outlining the situation and speak to the ICL on the day about possibly requesting an order allowing the child's assessment to go ahead? (not sure if that is possible).
Parents already have a final order that the parents shall engage with and adopt the recommendations of the child’s treating psychologist and occupation therapist.
The judge has also already stated in his judgement for interim orders that the mother had not administered some prescribed medication, a matter which brings into question equal shared parental responsibility.
Also, can the subpoenaed items from the last court base be referred to or do we need to subpoena them again?
Thanks!
