Q: How can I re-enroll our child to her previous high school without my spouse consent?
Our child was enrolled in a public highschool in the city I work/live but my spouse enrolled our child in her village (another county) during the pandemic. Our child wants to be re-enrolled in her previous highschool but my spouse is strongly opposed. We are running out of time since schools starts in 3 weeks, what are my legal options? Thank you for your advice.
A: The parent who has custody makes the decision. Your only other option is to go to court to get a court order.
A: If you can't resolve the issue, then file for divorce. Then you can either negotiate the issue or file an order to show cause & get before the Judge for a ruling. Schedule a consult with a NYC Divorce Attorney for a full assessment.
