QUESTION
Can my ex change our child’s school without my agreement?
Asked on Feb 11th, 2020 on Child Custody - New Jersey
More details to this question:
My ex-husband and I share joint legal and residential custody of our 10 year old son. My ex has recently moved nearly two hours away. He has made multiple attempts to enroll my son in a school near him without discussing the matter with me or seeking my approval. I have filed paperwork in court but our court date is a month away. What can I do in the meantime?

Thank you for your question. Joint legal custody requires joint decisions regarding education. Additional information is required such as parenting time arrangements and other educational information to better guide you. I encourage you to contact an attorney to schedule a consultation to discuss your matter further.
