Legal Question in Family Law in Ohio
my ex husband and i got an uncontested divorce with joint custody of our two children. however in the decree it states my son will live with him and my daughter with me. we live in different states. my ex is ill and he is sending my son to live with me. however the school said they will not enroll him without a "modification of residency" from the state that issued the divorce decree. the paperwork we recieved for this is "to change an existing court order custody, child support and parenting time". no child support is involved. this appears lengthy and to give sole custody to me. is this the only route?

Likely so. But, it should not be that difficult for the court to change it. Also, I would get an attorney to assist you.

Thanks and have a great day.
The school would expect such a modification, but it is not as difficult to do as it may sound to you since you both agree and the court would see that the change is in the best interest of the child.
