What state do you live in? Texas
Our decree has this clause "the right to confer with the other parent to the extent possible before making a decision concerning the health, education, and welfare of the child;"
My 12 year old daughter is battling with severe depression and anxiety topped with ADHD. Her therapist and her Physician's Assistant have indicated that homeschooling would be the best option right now for her. One of her triggers is that she is literally ahead of her entire grade at school, so she spends the day reading library books. This is prompting anxiety attacks while at school. I recently took to the ER to be evaluated but they determined she is not in of inpatient care. I'm having trouble getting her in an outpatient program because of her age and geography. Her dad keeps telling us she can't do homeschooling because he doesn't want it. It's not a truly present parenting figure in her life. His household is another trigger for her problems. He recently said if we need to send her to private school we will figure it out. I don't want that option when I can homeschool for free. I work from home. The way she learns at school will be the same way she learns at home. He claims socialization issues but she's always talking with her friends.
My question is, do I have to have his permission to finish the school year via homeschool? She is missing so much school we are worried she will be held back.
