I Live in New York State (not NYC).
My "X" and I have joint custody of our 5 y/o daughter, Sarah. Its time to enroll in Kindergarden. We've registered her in a good public school. Now, she wants to send her to a private school affiliated with her church. I do not want to do this at this time. I belong to the same church, but have some "problems" with the school. The enrollment is only 7 students for the entire school, all grades. Sarah would most likely be the only kindergardener. I previously agreed that I WOULD like her to attend this school eventually, but NOT for kindergarden. I would like her to have the company of other children. I told her that I don't agree to send her to this school. She informed me that she was sending her there, and that I can "do what you have to do." She is even intending to use the "child care" portion of the child support to pay for the school. I have joint custody, and have input into the major decisions concerning her education/health/etc.... but do I have to go to court to fight this? Is there a way to fight this out of court? Do schools have to have permission from both parents? I just feel as if my daughter is going to be the true looser of this dissagrement.
