Family law is a legal area where states probably differ the most, Each has its own rules and presumptions. There has been a traditional presumption in favor of the mother. Today, there are some cases where the father has acted as the primary parent before the divorce and so will continue that role. The law avoids gender discrimination. Rule of thumb - whatever parent had been going to the pediatrician or PTO before the divorce, they should continue the role and have last say in some situations unless there's good reason to change the situation.
Importantly, it is generally recognized that the best interest of the child is to have a good and engaged relationship with both parents. This may not be possible if one parent is unavailable, disinterested, or addicted to drugs and/or alcohol, but otherwise, courts will usually encourage a "co-parenting" arrangement, where each parent gets a significant amount of time with the child.

Can I take my son from the foster parents if they have power of attorney and the back of his head is flat?
No. You do not have the right to take the child if he has been placed in foster care. A child who is in foster care is a ward of the state. That child is under the legal custody of the Department of Child Services by virtue of a court order. The department has placed the child with a certified foster parent. A foster parent partners with that department to provide stability, food, clothing, housing and nurturing to a child who can no longer live with his/her birth parents. The foster parent interacts with the child's school and sees to medical needs. There is always the hope that the child will be reunited with their parents some time in the future. During the foster care period the parents rights are suspended although they may have visitation rights. If you have questions or concerns about your child's health or physical condition you should speak with the social worker in charge of your case.
When can a child care worker refuse to allow parent take child?
Presumably, the custodial parent is the parent who has arranged for the child care and is the person who normally delivers the child and picks the child up after work.

No unauthorized person should be allowed to take a child from day care.
