It depends entirely on the state you live in and the custody arrangement. I live in UT and we have joint custody, so my ex can't make a controversial move without my say-so.
Nobody like to hear this, but whatever the custody split is, you may want to involve an attorney just to know what your rights are. Consultations are usually free, at least here. The local Bar association can be a good help too.
COming from personal childhood experience, IMO it's imperative to get a second opinion before starting ADD meds, especially if a GP made the dx.
Best of luck.
