What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Wisconsin
I'm not sure if there is an actual "legal" answer to this, but I thought I'd give it a shot...and I am really looking for confirmation of my thoughts, as I think I may have a general idea.
My ex-husband and I have 50/50 custody and physical placement of our 6 yr old Kindergartner.
I can provide any requested details but don't want to provide clutter that isn't needed, (I know you're all busy!).
If I move residences within the same city, causing my son to change elementary schools- and my ex and I disagree on his schooling (ex may decide that if he's changing anyway, he should go to private school), what are the steps to coming to a decision on that? Mediation and then court? If so, what types of things does the mediator/court look at to assist in coming to a decision? I am guessing stability, permanence of residence, best interest of the child, etc?
While I respect my ex as my son's father, we tend to disagree at times on what may be in our son's "best interest".
Note: divorce decree states that our son will attend school in our city- doesn't specify public or private, and both are in the city.
Also note that this isn't a financial issue- I truly believe that our son (for various reasons) will be better off in the public school setting.
Please let me know if any further details would help. Thank you in advance for any responses!
