Q: Good morning! My boyfriend and his ex of 5 years have a 5 year old together. They were never married.
The child is starting Kindergarten this fall and The school requires that one parent signs saying he/she has legal educational guardianship of the child since they were never married. They cannot BOTH fill this position so my bf agreed to let the mother take the position, however she has already stated the role is a lot and agreed to sign something sharing the title with him. Is it possible to do this through a mediator as a witness or something or would a lawyer have to be involved?
A: Question: Why are you getting yourself involved in the personal problem between your boyfriend and his ex? These things usually do not end well--for anyone. Let you boyfriend and his ex deal with THEIR problem.

A: Parents should always confer with one another and try to come to a common-sense resolution of their differences...Parents can use the services of mediators, pastors, family members or anyone else that is willing to act as a "go-between." If they cannot agree, either of the parents can ask the courts to intervene; and, if necessary, they can also use lawyers.
