    Custody Visitation - Ex moved away

    Now my curiosity is piqued. Stealth, when you were four years old and attending school, what grade were you in?

    Custody Visitation - Ex moved away

    The bolded part clearly states that a parent can withdraw a child under the compulsory school attendance age for kindergarten. If withdrawn, how would they be found truant, especially if under the compulsory age of attendance? OG, I chose Ohio statutes because that is where you are licensed to...

    Custody Visitation - Ex moved away

    I don't feel defensive at all. I know it's a tough crowd here, so I like to post here occasionally, and it sharpens up my "arguments." This crowd is much more fierce than the OC I face. So, if I can "win" a point, I feel good. Or, I come away having learned something new. If I do come off as...

    https://codes.ohio.gov/ohio-revised-code/section-3321.01 A child between six and eighteen years of age is "of compulsory school age" for the purpose of sections 3321.01 to 3321.13 of the Revised Code. A child under six years of age who has been enrolled in kindergarten also shall be considered...

    Custody Visitation - Ex moved away

    What do you consider enrolled in school? What grade? I was merely trying to agree with Stealth that a kid can attend school before the compulsory age, not that every four-year-old can attend school. Have you seen parents get into trouble because their four-year-old was withdrawn from school...

    Custody Visitation - Ex moved away

    Right on. I didn't reference his state and only mentioned a possible approach for OP. You know, give a man a fish, or teach him to fish? Three years came up because even if his kid was in kindergarten, which is not mandatory in all states, he might not be able to use school attendance as a...

    Malicious Prosecution? Rule 11?

    Kentucky statutes on kidnapping exclude parents and legal guardians, as confirmed by my attorney, and also by my own research. Custodial Interference applies in KY. OC forwards the EX's emails to my attorney, asking "What is this about". My attorney forwards it to me and says "review and...

    Custody Visitation - Ex moved away

    Yes, I agree that there is nothing illegal about attending school at an earlier age. You're missing my point. No one is patrolling the streets for truant four-year-olds. A four-year-old could attend first grade, for sure. But, there are no legal consequences for removing a four-year-old...

    Malicious Prosecution? Rule 11?

    I hope that filing a Rule 11 Motion in advance would urge OC to review their motion, perform the proper due diligence, and withdraw due to no truth in the allegations. I have seen a few correspondences between the attorneys where OC states to my attorney, "I'm not going to waste my time...

    Custody Visitation - Ex moved away

    Yes, it looks like we agree that compulsory age of attendance is a legal matter. I hope our exchange encourages OP and others reading to research their state guidelines. I was intentionally vague about the state, as I didn't want to specifically say what OP's state guidelines are. I am hoping he...

    Custody Visitation - Ex moved away

    Zinger, which part of my post are you referring to regarding applicable state laws? The compulsory attendance age is outlined in a state's respective board of education. Some parents argue that their child has been in "school" for two years. However, the child is only four years old. The point...

    Custody Visitation - Ex moved away

    Some states have a default guide that outlines situations as a parent moving away. There would be a notice that any move outside of a specific radius would trigger a change in the parenting plan. If there are no clear guidelines for the parenting plan change, a hearing would be needed absent an...

    Malicious Prosecution? Rule 11?

    State- KY Joint Legal 50-50 parenting time I have a hearing coming up. My EX has once again filed a bunch of outright lies. EX has falsely claimed that I failed to comply with some aspects of our divorce decree from 2019. Rather than following up with their attorney, they just filed a motion...

    Is it O.K. for me to contact the Court Administrator and ask for a copy of a hearing?

    This thread was on page one. I didn't dig it up, that's why i didn't notice the date. Apologies to all.
