What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CO
Xfiles and I share 50-50 of our 5.5 yr old DD who is in private kindergarten. Last Nov I asked dad about schools for next year and suggested three schools both of which were not the home school for where either one of us lived. He agreed to two of the schools and we applied for a "school of choice". Well DD did not get into either school through school of choice because there were no slots. A school of choice is a school that is within the same district but not the home school that is assigned based on your home address. Both the home schools assigned to mine and Xfiles current addresses are the lowest performing schools.
Our CO says that "we have to agree about choice of school".
In the interim I have beent trying to sell my house for over a year to move into one of these neighborhoods. Long story short, I found a house where the
home school is one of the two we agreed on (let us call this school A), 6 miles from where I currently live and will be moving there in May.
I have to inform him of the move and my new address within 3 days of moving, which of course I will.
If he objects to school A now (for whatever reason), does he have a legal leg to stand on?
This is a school we agreed on and it will be possible for DD to go there because I will be living in that area.
School A is about 5 miles further than her current school for a total distance of about 9-10 miles that he would have to drive her to everyday on his week. Now he presumably weighed all these options when he agreed. Of course he can change his mind now. There are other legal issues going on with him including a very contentious break with his attny and the denial of both his appeals on CS and atty fees.. all in all he may be out for blood!
There are ways to minimize that distance by dropping her at one of the bus stops, my house, which is closer etc.
It is a public school, which is what he wanted (i wanted private).
So a little nervous.. since I am moving and I really dont see any need to ask him "about my move".
