If two divorced parents have different views on parenting, who decides how the child should be raised?

Parent ';A'; believes in organic/vegatarian diet and herbal treatment for illness. Parent ';B'; feeds the child a ';typical'; diet including meat and follows the advice of the pediatrician regarding medications... who believes that FDA approved meds should be used rather than herbal alternatives. The child resides with parent ';B.';If two divorced parents have different views on parenting, who decides how the child should be raised?
The parents need to work that out together. They should still be a team when it comes to parenting even if they are no longer married. That is part of being grown ups and parents.If two divorced parents have different views on parenting, who decides how the child should be raised?
The Courts decides, what is in the best interests of the Child in Question.
A ';typical'; diet is healthier and not controversial, also since the child is with the parent ';a'; some of the time, maybe the child can be vegan some of the time. Never force a child into beliefs, let them samole and make the right choice for them.
Whoever has custody (i.e. parent ';B';). If they have joint custody, parent ';A'; could take the case to family court. But no court is going to tell a parent that they aren't allowed to feed their kid meet (unless there's a valid medical reason) or take them to a doctor.

Roll The Dice...
When the child is with parent ';A'; then that parent can feed the child organic/vegetarian meals and use herbal treatments (unless of course it could harm the child or cause death - then I'd say you better use the prescribed medications, i.e., diabetics, cancer, etc) - if parent ';A'; decides not to use medications that are helping the child battle a serious disease, parent ';A'; could be held liable in a court of law should anything happen to the child.





Parent ';B'; can feed the child a regular diet and provide prescription medications and visits to the pediatrician etc. This is a more traditional approach and more widely accepted in this country.





If the child resides with parent ';B'; then parent ';B'; could go to court to have legal custody turned over to them so that you would have to abide by the rules concerning medications etc. if the child is sick or has some type of disease (however, you did not disclose the details of what type of medications the child is being given).
