[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 591625, member: 4264"] You do have full custody still, so if the school fails to inform you of meetings in the future, call them and not your ex about it. Let it be clear (politely but FIRM) at the school that indeed he is with the ex at this time but you retain full custody. Can you speak to the nurse, as custodial parent, and insist your son be given his medications at least in the morning at the beginning of the school day immediately upon arrival? The fact that you retain full custody means regardless of residence address, the school must follow what you say. I wouldn't try to trump other stuff your ex does with the school, but being involved in meetings and informed of school problems, and medications for school are very important to your sons success and for those two things, I believe you should dig your heels in. On the other hand, if the school balks because ex pitches a fit and they refuse to trump ex on giving medications and the meetings, you really are in a terrible position. I don't think yanking him back is a great solution, but having a full time parent ignore serious issues isn't a great solution either. Rock, meet hardplace :( [/QUOTE]
