There is no easy answer to this question. The education of a child is such an important issue that if the parties cannot agree on this, a Judge would need to decide when a Motion was properly filed and all of the facts and circumstances are presented. Each party would need to provide evidence (at first in Affidavit form and, if the Judge felt that was not sufficient, perhaps at a mini-trial called a Plenary Hearing) to establish his/her position.

Keep in mind that this advice is given based on the little bit of information that you have provided in your question. My advice may change based on other information. Further, no one can rely on advice from an attorney who has not been retained. You cannot rely on this advice because we have not personally met and you have not retained me as an attorney. If you have not already done so, you should immediately meet with a Family Law attorney for a full consultation before you take any further steps. You may feel free to call me at 856-546-8010 to discuss this matter in more detail. If you do so, mention Law Guru and your first one hour of time will be free. Good luck! Rob Gleaner
