Can my child's school refuse to allow me to see, talk to, and check out my child?

(This is just a thought exercise)

However, the school cannot stop it, so would she be at risk of violating the law by not allowing the parent to pick up the child?

I understand the thought process. As the Principal, she could not do it, but as the child's parent, she can. All she has to do is take off the Principal hat, and put on the parent hat. Her parental rights/custody rights/parenting time rights are still intact. They don't go away just because she happens to work at the school.

If the other parent comes and ask the principal and the principal refuses, then it's a violation of the law. Does she get to pick which hat she's wearing at that point?

THere " might" be language in the order to effect moms custody begins Wed at end of school day but I doubt it. Something is missing and it's more than unusual to get child involved if she wants to go with mom..the more usual bureaucratic obfuscation is to send custody letter to solicitor for reciew ...and do whatever punt fits in meantime. And a restraining order very likely gets sent to solicitor if there is any doubt at all as to what it means
, the local principal rarely wants to be in middle of these issues .

IN theory it would be nice to schedule Dr s appointments after school but that's not always practical .

IF the school routinely permits parent / guardian to take/ sign out child out of school for Dr s appointments then I just gotta bet something else is going on and or the CP is in backdoor to this issue or OP "forgot " to post some key details

OP as an aside, on the proper day , sort thru the,school policy as to access to ALL your child's records and files and go examine them..make a good log of what's there, photo log if possible....

Just curious where OP states that they're Dad vs Mom.....

To be fair, the whole Mom vs Dad thing started once I posed my purely hypothetical though exercise. It really has nothing to do with the OP's situation, as my situation was hypothetical. Nobody on here mentioned anything other than "the other parent" before that.

Fair enough.
