Q: My ex is making my son repeat the 11th grade so he graduates a year later.He has not failed any classes is not SPED.
I have joint legal custody of my son. His mother has primary custody. My son is in the 11th grade and has never failed a class and is on track to graduate at the age of 18 in May 2023. Last week, without consulting me as required by the Parenting Plan, she withdrew him from his school and enrolled him on another school. She intends to have him repeat the 11th grade. His current GPA is about 3.4. Clearly, an attempt to gain another year of support and not in the best interest of my son.
A: She could be in contempt here. You should consult with an attorney who can review the facts of the case in detail and present you with guidance and options on how to best handle the situation.
