Title: Getting the Court to Order Kids Stay in Schools When Custody Changes Post by: Mika1739 on January 20, 2017, 10:56:51 AM I am well on my way with BPD ex in winning residency as well as custodianship. We have been on a long road and still have a long road ahead but time itself has allowed her BPD issues to become clear to the legal and Mental Health Professionals allowing me to step back and let them take over. I'm in Illinois which eliminated the word "custody" in its future law code on 1/1/2016 so parents now have to decide about Parenting Visitation Time and Allocation of Parental Responsibilities. Instead of custody its residency and then parenting time so that there is not this "One parent, is better than the other" mentality.
That being said BPD ex is sadly staying sick despite losing so many things including her home. She is almost 40 and moving back home with her parents. I own my home and the children will claim residency with me and that would force my younger son into a different assigned Junior High in the same district but whole new group of kids. I am going to argue that the Court should protect him and give an Order that I can take to the Superintendent so that he can go to the Junior High his sister just went into and all of his core group of friends going to. I can't imagine the Court not easily seeing the importance of this and granting the Order or at lease language in a Order that I can bring to the district. Does anyone have experience with this?

I believe courts do try to avoid drastic changes to the children's lives but moves are not very contested. In this case the distance or school areas of coverage isn't much, evidently within the school district. Does the school have Open Enrollment opportunities?
