The answer to this question largely depends on whether or not you have joint legal custody with your ex-wife or you have court ordered sole legal custody of the child. If you have been awarded sole legal custody of the minor child, then you alone can make all the decisions that affect the minor’s health, welfare, education, well being, religious and medical decisions and concerns without the consent of the other parent or order of the court.
If on the other hand, you and your ex wife have a court ordered joint legal custody order, then, your ex wife can definitely object to this procedure being done and you and her will likely have to hash this issue out in court for a judge to make a determination as to whether the procedure should be done or not. Joint Legal custody encompasses the joint decision making of the parents as to the minor child’s health, welfare, education, medical needs and religious upbringing.
