Do both parents have equal rights in medical decisions for joint custody?

If you have joint custody, then it should specify in the paperwork, but I believe the answer is no you cannot. My paperwork says that both the parents have to agree on ANY major situation before making the changes. If it is an emergency, then it is acceptable as long as you contact the other parent as soon as you are able.
