[QUOTE="somerset, post: 487112, member: 13320"] I know you are scared, and with good reason, but don't give up yet. About changing your child's school - as far as I know, joint legal custody means neither of you gets to make this kind of decision unilaterally. You have some time to deal with this before it happens. I don't know how things work where you are, but here in family court before you go before a judge for custody issues, you have to see a conciliator, who listens to both sides and can help negotiate, and can also make recommendations to the judge. The best thing of course would be to see an attorney. Search free legal assistance or legal aid. We have "Legal Aid" here which will represent someone for free in the family courts, and I think there are similar places everywhere. Also, lawyers often give free first consultations, which can be very informative. As a last resort, there are books which help parents learn how to handle custody issues in the courts by themselves. Nolo Books publishes a lot of this type of book. You need full knowledge of your rights. Even if your son is supposed to live during the week with his father under the current agreement, these agreements are not set in stone and you can request a change at any time. [/QUOTE]
