Can’t agree on school with my ex

I split with my aggressive ex nearly 4 years ago and we’ve since shared custody of my son. He’s now due to start school and been registered, had his school visits, been allocated his buddy for starting and has friends from nursery in his class. The school is within area I live and same school his big brother attends.

My ex got jealous over the weekend as I was away for work conference as he suspected I was away with a guy!! (Aye right he’s put me off for life).
He’s now sending constant messages that our son will not be going to that school, calling it a shithole and saying it’s all to suit me. He says we have to pick a school half way between our homes so as he can stick to his days (Wednesday-Saturday). He has said for over a year he was going to get a flat closer so he can stick to the deans when wee one starts school. He has lived with his parents since our split though and I think he’s incapable of living independently so it’s more about him needing his parents to support him.

I also worry if he’s adamant about sticking to these days my wee one will have to travel during rush out on a busy motorway taking about and hour both ways.
Sorry for rant, this is my first time posting on anything like this and I just don’t know how to resolve this, he’s very aggressive and I don’t want to aggravate his temper but I don’t want to give in to this one like o have with all his other demands, I have 3 boys and life in mornings is tough enough trying to get them all out the door and get myself to work without them having to travel half way across the city to take wee man to school.

He is being an arse, he can take you to court if he doesnt want him to go there and the court will tell him where to go if you have another child at the school and of course you could put in a change in access if its no longer practical for DS to do that journey Wed - Sat now that he is starting school. Of course he wont take you to court as he’s just blowing hot air.

Turn your phone off and ignore him

The fact is only complaining now about school would go in your favour, it suggests until this point this school was the agreed place or that he wasn't bothered enough to your schools/apply. He can deregister your son from that school with only the consent of one patented needed, I'd inform school ex causing issues and not to deregister at all. That it's something court need to resolve.
