Asked on Aug 20th, 2012 on Child Custody - Minnesota
More details to this question:
my child attended a school in one town for kindergarden but I relocated to the next town over (7 miles away) and want to enroll her in the school in my new city since i have her monday through friday. My ex is fighting her changing schools to be difficult with me ( and for no other reason) and says I can not enroll her in the school 2 blocks from my home but instead have to enroll her in the old school and have he ride a bus for an hour to and an hour from every day with highschool kids. I feel this is dangerous being that she is only 6. If we can not come to an agreement who gets the final say in what school she is enrolled in?

Unfortunately, the Court has the final say. We have had several of these enrollment cases this year. The court is most likely to rule in your favor, unless the old School District is a lot better than the new one. In a case like this either District is appropriate as far as the Districts are concerned.
