Legal Question in Family Law in New York
I have join custody of a 15 yr old. she has lived with her dad the last 4 months and wants to now come back home. He is not being reasonable, wants her to stay with him in Freeport, told her it's not happening. We did have her physically resident listed as his address for the last 4 months but can I just enroll her in my school district now while I wait for a court date to change her residence? Part of he problem is she needs to be a resident of my town in order to apply for trade school by he end of January.

At the end of the day, judges have a very hard time telling a 15yr old what to do. The udge will be guided by the best interest of the child in any application to the court. You should speak with an attorney before you take any action. Negotiation between attorneys could perhaps resolve this without dragging your child into litigation.
