Threatening to move child to different school

[blueberrypie29]

Just wondering what happens if one parent from a 50/50 custody divorced couple wants to move their settled, primary school aged child to a different school, for seemingly no valid reason? Surely the other parent can object to this in the best interests of the child?

Yep. Child should not be moved without the consent of all those with PR.

Contact your child's current school and tell them that you do not consent to the move. If you know where the other parent plans to move them to contact that school with the same information. If its local authority schools you can contact their in- year admissions team to to block the move. (Academies do often do their own in year admissions though).

But I'd contact a solicitor with a view to a single issue court order - which can be done on an emergency hearing if need be.

Do the above (tell both schools) my ex tried this and I made contact to both schools and the new prospective one I made a calm/professional 'fuss' and they backed away because they don't want to get involved ;)
