S10 Ep31: Can a Parent Move Schools Without Permission?

#ChooseGoldman Attorney Akiva Goldman explains that changing a child's school in Michigan requires mutual parental consent or court intervention due to shared legal custody rights. The court utilizes a Lombardo hearing to determine if a school move is truly in the child's best interests based on stability and specific needs. • Shared legal custody means neither parent can unilaterally move a child to a new school without the other parent's input. • Even with primary physical custody, decision-making authority for education is often shared between both parents. • If parents cannot agree on a school change, the requesting parent must file a motion to seek permission from the court. • A Lombardo hearing is held for the court to evaluate the necessity of the move and compare school environments. • Legitimate reasons for a move include bullying or special services, while personal reasons like moving in with a partner are generally insufficient. 📞 (248) 590-6600 Call/Text 📅 For a Complimentary Phone Case Evaluation: https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=17105687&appointmentType=18529428] Click here to watch the video: https://youtu.be/RngoJucc-Og For more information: https://akivagoldman.com/michigan-child-custody-lawyer ⬇️ Download Divorce & Custody Survival Guide.
