In response to the original post, I thought I would share my husband's situation. He has 50/50 custody of his children,ages 10 and 8. The kids live with us for a week, then with their mom for a week and so on. The town we live in is ex's hometown.(small town) She is friends with some of the teachers and was even taught by some of them when she was a little girl. Anyway, she has told many teachers and school officials that my husband used beat her, threatened to kill her,and many other lies to get the school on her side. Now, whenever husband goes into the school for parent teacher conference or other things, he is treated like crap and ignored. Having 50/50 custody, each parent should be called when there is medical, behavioral concern. Ex is the only one that is called. Last time report cards came out, kids were at their mom's. Stepdaughter's teacher only sent one copy with her. My husband had to send to note to teacher requesting a copy. Stepson's teacher is not so biased. She sent one in the mail. You can always tell at the beginning of the school year which teachers are going to be a problem b/c ex and teacher are all buddy buddy and all paperwork is purposely given to ex. I understand how you feel. It's very frustrating and at times feels hopeless.
