Will ‘we’ get in trouble for this. Family court

My partner has a child from a previous relationship. They are 4 lives with his ex and has a speech delay, on the waiting list for speech therapy.. but we have had an aba therapist/speech consultant working with them when she visits us for the past two months.

I thought that DP had informed his ex of this, as I believe that mums should always be involved in things like this and if I’m not wrong he has to seek her permission on medical interventions (not sure if aba etc would be considered as medical) only to find out he hasn’t told her. Now the therapist needs to refer his child for an appt but needs to go through their GP which means DP ex will definitely find out. Not currently in family court but was planning to apply for extra time… will we (DP) get in trouble for not informing his ex?

@sprigatito i didn’t know his ex hadn’t been informed and didn’t feel it was my place to say whether such intervention was correct. But now having found out she wasn’t informed and that my so called DP hadn’t been in contact with any professionals for his DC.

@pastypirate I know he ex was already working with nursery and had been repeating back to DC, highlighting missed sounds but not over correcting.. I.e. saying no that’s wrong. His ex sent this information across to my DP at handover and I overheard the conversation. Therapist may well have asked to speak to mum, all I know is DP said he had informed ex, he hadn’t and it all came out the bag because said therapist needs DC gp to refer them onto another service - I can only assume DP hasn’t been in contact with GP or is unsure of who the GP is so had to inform ex.
