Legal Question in Family Law in Ohio
in the state of ohio we have a shared parenting agreement from 2007 which states the child shall go to school in the mothers school district but the child has went to school in the fathers school district for the last 3 years per verbal agreement of both parents. can the mother withdraw the child from the fathers school district an enroll the child in her district without agreement of the father?

In Ohio, the Court is going to go with the agreement of the parties. However, if the father goes to court with a motion arguing that it would not be in the best interest of the child to suddenly pull the child out of school, taking her away from her teachers and friends and from the learning environment in which she is comfortable, the Court may be in a mood to alter that portion of the agreement.
