More details to this question:
I am a divorced father with a 5 year old. I have 50/50 joint custody of my daughter. I live with my significant other who I plan to marry when the time is right. I took my daughter to the doctor and signed to allow my significant other to access records/bring her/etc. She's refusing to allow my girlfriend into the doctor’s office etc. My girlfriend has been a part of my daughter’s life for a while now and is more of a mother than her biological mother is.

The two of you as joint custodians are to decide together if a third person should have access to records and authority to deliver for medical treatment. Perhaps when your GF becomes your wife, signaling a permanent commitment, she might change her mind.
