#ChooseGoldman Navigating school decisions after a divorce depends heavily on how legal custody is structured between the parents. This episode explores the standard legal procedures for resolving educational disagreements and determining what is in the best interest of the child. • Parents typically contribute equally to major decisions regarding their children while married or before a divorce is finalized. • School decisions after a divorce are governed strictly by the dictates of legal custody outlined in the judgment of divorce. • Joint legal custody means both parents must agree on significant educational choices, such as school districts or public versus private education. • If parents with joint legal custody cannot reach an agreement, a motion must be filed to have a judge make the final decision. • When one parent has sole legal custody, they generally run point on major educational choices unless a motion to change legal custody is successfully pursued.
