I do also, I have to consult with him on major issues. For example, if I want to move the children out of state I have to talk to him about it first. However, if he says no it doesn't mean I cannot go. If we were to go to court over it, I would have to prove that my livelihood is present in the state I am moving to. If you have good reason for doing something, the court will often find in favor of the custodial parent. Other things would be major medical issues, assuming there is time to consult with him.

i have joint legal custody with my ex but we never married can he stop me from taking family vacation with my child
