QUESTION
Do I have any options here or is there a precedent after the court approval to put my so back to his old school?
Asked on Sep 06th, 2012 on Child Custody - Pennsylvania
More details to this question:
My ex filed a custody order against me and I subsequently moved out of the county. It was filed in less than 50 miles. I enrolled my son in a new school in the new county. Now, my ex filed a motion, which was approved by the judge telling me I need to put my son back in the old school. Do I need to drive my son 50 miles to school each day?

If the judge said that is what to be done do it. You may have to make a motion to change schools.

You need to obey a court order. Your only legal remedy is to appeal the judge's ruling to a higher court. You need to consult an attorney to find out if you still have time to file that appeal in the state where you living.

You need to follow the court order or work to get it changed. Failure to follow the court order could result in you being found in contempt of court and either fined and/or jailed.

You cannot move out of county without court permission. That you did so means that you are going to have to live with the results of the order. So yes, you are going to have to do the long drive daily, unless the time share was also changed.

Yes, you need to follow the court order. If you do not follow the court order you will probably lose the child to the other side.

You need to consult with and retain an attorney. The custody laws in PA changed in april 2011. There are requirements regarding relation that must be followed.
