Can you refuse to allow your ex's girlfriend to attend your child's doctor's appointment?

Answer 1

I arranged it, have residency, he is invited as the child's father but wants to bring his girlfriend along. She doesn't live with him, they are not engaged, but does play with my child when he visits. He wants to argue with paediatrician's assessment as he doesn't like his child having special needs. I am not planning on bringing anyone with me. I just want it to be me, him, child and doctor, but am worried I will cause difficulty if I refuse to admit her. However, I don't want a 2 vs 1 situation going on. I wanted to know if legally I can refuse to permit her to enter the consulting room. She's not related to my child, after all.

You can refuse and he can bring her to sit in the waiting room but in the doctors office it should be just the parents. It sounds like your ex is just playing games. She has absolutely no right to be present.
