We know from scripture that Jesus does nothing without the Father (John 5:19). This reaffirms the oneness of the will and action of the trinity.

***Is there any indication in scripture that the Father does nothing without the Son?

I have come to an understanding of the trinity in which no member does anything individually; all 3 persons sharing the same will, actions, and divine attributes and so they are one being, existing in complete unity.

To explain further… oca.org/orthodoxy/the-orthodox-faith/doctrine-scripture/the-holy-trinity/one-god-one-divine-action-and-will

The Son and Spirit clearly do nothing without the Father but, again, I am not finding it clear in scripture as to whether or not the Father can act individually without the Son or Spirit.
 
I don’t believe you will find anything that supports that the Father can act alone. After all the Father is in the Son, and the Son is in the Father (John 14:10). If the Son is in the Father than the Father cannot act alone and the same would apply to the Holy Spirit.

There are instances where certain actions are attributed to one or another person, but they involve all three.
