What School Will The Children Attend?

When going through a divorce or child custody case, a big issue that comes up is where the children where attend school. This can be quite a contested issue. Whether the children are attending school when the case starts, or if they haven’t started school yet, this can have a bearing on a divorce or child custody case. Ultimately, custody is determined by looking at what is in the best interest of the child. However, the laws can vary depending on the state but a lot of different factors can play a role in determining what school the child is to attend. If the children are already attending a certain school, there can often be hesitancy for children to change schools. In some cases, parties might argue that the current school the children are attending is not meeting their educational needs. If this is not the case, it can be tough to argue that the school of the children should be changed. There are some cases in which the child may have significant educational challenges. This can be particularly true if a child has been diagnosed with a learning condition that can have a bearing on the ability of a child to succeed in school. In cases like this, an educational assessment by a professional can be significant in the court’s decision. In many cases, the court may appoint a guardian ad litem to represent the best interests of the children. The guardian ad litem may wish to talk to teachers, counselors, medical professionals, and, of course, the parents to help make a determination. The ranking of the schools based on data available like graduation rates, standardized test scores, and other factors may be something the court might consider in making a determination. At the end of the day, there are a variety of factors that go into determining what school a child should attend in a divorce or child custody case.We also provide visitors with a wealth of information on our website regarding child custody and other related domestic matters.

ABOUT

Full Service Child Custody Representation

Our child custody practice focuses on protecting the wellbeing of children and the rights of parents. We handle issues such as:
Visitation
Often called parenting time, visitation is the amount of time a noncustodial parent spends with his or her child. We can handle a broad spectrum of visitation matters.
Creating a parenting plan
Getting visitation rights means drafting a parenting plan that works. We can help.
Relocation with a child
Courts have continuing jurisdiction over child custody and visitation orders. So, when a parent wants to move, it is usually necessary to get the court's permission first. Failure to do so can put your time with your child in jeopardy.
Enforcement of orders
If a parent fails to follow a child custody order, it may be possible to take him or her to court to enforce the order.
Contempt of court
If you are found to have repeatedly ignored a court order, you may be found in contempt of court.
Modification of orders:
When you need a court order changed, you can work with the experienced attorneys at Stange Law Firm, PC.
Custody Issues for Nonmarried Parents
Next to divorce actions, paternity cases (custody and support cases between unmarried parents) are among the most common cases in family law.
Parental Rights
Parents are often concerns about their parental rights, especially fathers in certain circumstances.
Family Access Motions
If you are being denied access to your children, you may want to consider a family access motion.
Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act
If you have jurisdictional issues involving your custody case, you will want an attorney familiar with the UCCJEA.
Custody Evaluations
If you have a complex custody case where psychological issues or abuse may be in play, you might want to consider a child custody evaluation
Hague Convention
If you are dealing with an international child custody dispute, and perhaps child abduction, knowing about the Hague Convention is often critical.
Third-Party Custody
If you are not the biological parents, in certain cases all may not be lost. You might have a right to third party custody in certain situations.
Fertility and Surrogacy
Fertility and surrogacy is a growing area of the law for those who want children.
Transportation
In some custody cases, parties might live far apart. This can result in difficult child custody cases with transportation at issue.
