Custody And Dental Neglect

Summary

In California, if a court order does not specify a deadline for compliance, prompt action is generally expected. If your ex-husband has not obtained insurance for your daughter following the August 14, 2025 order, consider addressing the issue with the court immediately to enforce the order. For drafting a court declaration, include details of dental appointments, diagnoses, and the impact of custody changes on dental care. Highlight any neglect in following through with necessary treatments. Consulting a family law attorney can provide further guidance on these matters.

Both Dr. Anne and Dr. Alison, along with their staff have gotten to know Madelyn over the years and learned what has worked and what hasn’t. They know each of her appointments takes twice as long due to all the additional steps they have to take in order to keep her calm. Madelyn has also grown to trust them over the years because of all this additional care they provide. However, based on past experiences, it is well known that anything can trigger Madelyn to go into a full blown panic attack and prevent any further treatment from being provided. Since the new custody order on August 14th, * required everything of Madelyn’s to be moved from my place of residence to Oxnard, I made the appointment scheduled for August 18th, * in which Madelyn was to have a spacer placed at *:* AM then a cap placed at *:* PM in an attempt to get the issue resolved prior to her first day of Kindergarten.
It seems like you’re dealing with a situation involving Madelyn's dental care and a recent custody order. To provide better guidance, could you clarify if you’re seeking advice on custody arrangements, dental care decisions, or something else?

Declaration of [Your Name]
*. On July *, *, I informed Daniel of Madelyn’s dental appointment scheduled for August *, *, at *:* a.m.
*. On August *, *, Dr. Anne Pedersen diagnosed Madelyn with a substantially deep cavity in one of her lower molars. Dr. Anne recommended immediate intervention to cap the tooth to prevent further decay, which would require sedation if delayed.
*. Due to Madelyn’s extreme anxiety and inability to cooperate during dental treatments, capping has been the most practical intervention. Both Dr. Anne and Dr. Alison, along with their staff, have provided special care for Madelyn, which she has grown to trust.
*. Despite knowing Madelyn’s dental needs, Daniel has failed to prioritize her treatment. The new custody order on August *, *, resulted in disruptions to her dental care schedule.
*. I made an appointment for August *, *, to place a spacer and a cap to resolve the issue before her first day of Kindergarten. However, Daniel’s neglect has jeopardized Madelyn’s dental health and well-being.
*. I urge the court to consider this neglect and take appropriate action to ensure Madelyn receives the necessary dental care.
