Yes, but he'd given up custodianship of her (and the right to make the decision on her life support) to the court. Which is why begging him to save her life and demonising him was cheap.

I'm also not sure why the judge ruled that attempting to feed her by mouth was a no-go.I'm not sure he did. I think what happened is that the Schindlers requested he order that she could be fed by mouth. He refused to give that order. In absence of that order, Mr. Schiavo was able to refuse food and water by mouth for her. I don't know why or how, except for the risk of aspiration, but even then, since removing her hydration and nutrition was going to kill her, I don't understand that, either.
