Alexandria, VA asked in Family Law and Child Support for District of Columbia

Q: Florida Case: Me / Ex have shared parental responsibility and decision making

Parents have shared parental responsibility of child decisions. This provided power for him to always say No/Disagree to every thing & not be responsible for cost. Our kids special needs school he disagrees with to not have to help pay costs. But; he’s been absent from all child life / school / everything for 4 years straight & not in contact with child 2 years. Ive paid $100k+ for child’s school -& I want file with court to make him reimburse me half. H will argue -he didn’t agree with school so he didn’t owe anything. I think he’s wrong in this situation bc he’s been absent continuously for 4 years, never had contact with school, etc. Will the Court agree with me? His agreement on a child decision for a child he’s not involved with cannot be something the court would allow a person to do?
