I share legal custody with my child's other parent. Is the other parent allowed to put our child's picture on a business website without my permission? Thank you.

Yes just as you are

Then when the order says shared legal custody means that the parties "share" responsibility for all major decisions that means solo? It says share not just one decides. Continuing with what the order says the parties sharing legal custody shall consult and confer with each other on matters affecting the welfare of each minor child. The other parent did not consult nor confer with me about putting a picture on the internet.

Let me give you an example. Denise Richards is in her own reality TV show in which hers and Charlie Sheens kids will also be in. Sheen did not want kids in Richards did. Sheen tried to get court to order in his favor they did not yet both share legal custody. Unless you can show the image causes the child harm this is more about angry parents trying to screw the other in courts eye

Then why put confer and consult in an order when they are just going to ignore it?

It's not the "confer and consult" part that is in question - it's the "major decisions" part. Deciding to have surgery or not, to turn off life support or not, to try an experimental treatment or not, to move to Timbuktoo or not - THOSE are major decisions. Using the kid's photo on a website is NOT and is most likely to be seen by a court as UnderDog pointed out.

I totally understand what you are saying. My thoughts are in this day and age where my young child is posted on the internet we basically know what is out there when it comes to young children and the internet and it is really scary. Not only does it have the picture of my child it has where my child lives at with the other parent. How safe is that? There are way too many predators and molesters out there that can use this to their advantage as I am sure it has been done already. Am I expecting too much in regards to the law and the internet?

For the court, it's going to come down to a question of reasonableness. Is having a photo on the internet any more likely to attract a predator than the child doing every day activities like walking into a convenience store with mommy or daddy, or playing on the playground? Probably not. Actually, probably even LESS so. Child predators tend to be criminals of opportunity, not long term planners. They tend to act on opportunities to snatch kids when parents or guardians aren't looking or are distracted. Things like letting your child wear a shirt with their name on it have been cited as "not wise" when it comes to child safety, but even stuff like that isn't going to be close to meeting what a court would consider reckless or endangering. Assuming the photo of the child isn't revealing, racy, or otherwise questionable (like child pagent photos that TRY to make the child look sexy and beyond their years), it's going to be a non-issue as far as a judge or child services is concerned.
