Hello, Denzell.
Is there a custody order already in place? If not, it would probably be beneficial to file to get these issues before the Court so some clarity can be provided by the Court. This should help resolve everyone's rights, responsibilities, custody, visitation, support, and all other issues and questions that there might be.
If there already is a custody order in place then it will depend on what that says. If the mother has sole custody, then she has the decision-making authority. If it is joint custody, then you both share the decision-making authority on large decisions. Likewise, you will both be bound by any visitation schedules that it details.
I hope this helps.
