child moving school - what involvement is required from exH?

[tuftedduck]

DP and I are looking at buying a house together. It will be in the same county, but possibly not in the same location as DD and I live at the moment. I'm hoping not to have to change the primary school for her sake, but would like to know what my position is if moving school is necessary.

ExH is a very difficult and obstructive man (was a bullying control freak and didn't take kindly to me leaving him). We communicate by text only, speaking always leads to him shouting at me so I refuse to do it.

Anyway, what permission/involvement do I need from him if I have to change DD's school?

Similarly, she will be going to secondary school soon - do I have to get exH involved in that choice? or what's the minimum involvement would he have?

He has equal parental responsibility with you, so should be involved in the decision making process. You can live where you want, and generally if the old school is too far away a judge will allow DD to move to a school near you, but you might need to apply to court for a specific issue order. Seek legal advice if ExH is difficult.
