Question about school information

[2Boys1Mom]

State _ California

I have Sole Legal and Physical custody, write in my court order, of my son. I believe this means that all the Father gets the right to do is pay. I sent this information to my son's school and wanted to double check that this gives me the legal right to tell them not to share any information with the father.
Thanks

Not unless your court order says that dad is to have no access to health/educational records. Sole custody does NOT mean that he has no access... it means he can't make decisions.

No. It most certainly does not do that. Dad has the right to certain information - including school and medical - about his children. What is your problem?

Dads have rights...

Under sole legal custody one parent has primary control over decisions regarding the child's residence, health, education and welfare. The noncustodial parent has secondary visitation rights as ordered by the court.

Wow. Aren't you just a bit selfish.

Ofcourse dad has more rights than to just pay, hell that isn't even a right that's an obligation.

I hope for the sake of your children you wake up and see that their father is more than a paycheck.

Unless it SPECIFICALLY says, "The NCP is not entitled to information or records regarding the child or the child's activites in the past, present or future, unless it specifically relates to or has bearing on the NCP's period of possessions with said child. This would include but is not limited to school records, doctor records, dentist record, extraciricular activity records, et al. If the NCP wishes to receives copies of or review aforementioned record/records, he/she may only do so with permission of CP or order of the court." Or something along those lines, the NCP has just as much right to information concerning the child as the CP.

FERPA is the Federal Law which gives all parents (Custodial or Not) the right to access medical/educational records. Unless you have a court order which specifically states Dad is restricted from accessing records~ He has every legal right to them.

Visitation is not the same as Custody. Unless your court order states visitation is restricted/denied, then the Dad has a right to visitation. And there doesn't need to be a specific schedule for visitation in the court order~ Sometimes it only says "Reasonable" visitation/access or "As agreed between the parties", etc.

What exactly does your court order say?

Why don't you want Dad to know how his son is doing in school?

Trying to make it short.
Father was absent for 9years. I did give him a chance and instead of working with what his son already does and who his son already is, computer nerd :+), wants to just change him. Father has 6 other boys, 3 which are special needs or autistic. Wants to drug his son because he says he's out of control because he can't get along with a house full of people. Use to just the 3 of us. Me, his brother, and himself. He wets his bed and has from the start, something that’s not uncommon, Dad says drug him. Dr. says he'll out grow it. Which he has now. Father did want to spend the time need to help his son just drug him. School - All programs you have to pay for are bad, very untrue just paid for science camp to a yellow stone park facility, but because dad doesn’t want to spend more money there bad. Computers are bad. My son is very smart and loves computers so he plays on them a lot but not that it interferes with his activates. Rides his bike to and from home to Grandma's everyday. Plays with friends out side everyday. Lots of out door activates with family just not into sports. Father is convinced ( won't take the time to see ) that all he does is play on the computer. Won't talk to me about anything anymore because Father doesn’t want to be wrong. I want him not to be able to go through the school because I want him to talk to me so he can't turn his one side stories on me. Also my Son is not very interested in see his father anymore because he won’t take the time out for him, he’s always just stuck with the family and father is at work.
Hope this makes since or helps you understand. Just wanted to see if I was in the right or not. Also I don’t have paperwork on me right now but will look at the wording tonight.
Thanks for the answer now I know were I stand.
