Q: My kids father enrolled them in a school without my permission can I go and get them back with out an issue?
I have twin girls who I let go live with their father for a school year and a half. They have been with me this whole summer, I wanted them to stay home for this school year but instead their father has kept them from me, enrolled them in a school where he lives, and is threatening that i cant have them back unless i move to the same county he lives in. Can i just go to the school and dis-enroll my kids without there being an issue? There is no court orders for neither party and we both reside in the state of GA.
A: Far too few facts to give much help on this question. For starters, is there a divorce, and child custody order in place? Who has primary custody? When people split up, and no agreement is in place, things like this happen. Otherwise, you would be protected by court order, and know your rights. It sounds like you MAY have to file for judicial help in the county of the father. I will bet that he is already represented by a divorce lawyer, who oversaw and devised this scheme.
