S10 Ep100: What Happens When Parents Disagree About Vaccinations?

#ChooseGoldman When co-parents strongly disagree on whether to vaccinate their children, the outcome depends on their legal custody arrangement and may ultimately require court intervention. This episode explores how shared versus sole legal custody impacts vaccination decisions and what happens when a judge has to make the final call. • Parents with a working relationship can often agree on best interests, but vaccinations remain a deeply divisive topic with strong opinions. • Disagreements commonly involve standard childhood vaccines, staggered schedules, or total opposition to vaccinations. • If parents share joint legal custody and cannot agree, neither can act unilaterally, and someone must file a motion in court. • If one parent holds sole legal custody, they have the authority to make the decision without the other parent's consent. • When a motion is filed, the court holds an evidentiary hearing where a judge must set aside personal opinions and decide based strictly on the facts and medical evidence.
