I've never been asked my marital status when enrolling my kid in school. But also, who exactly would you be defrauding if you failed to list the other parent in contacts? What do you think the word fraud means? |
What? No they don’t. |
As both a single parent with 100% custody, and as a school administrator, I've never seen a form that asks for marital status, or a school or camp that blinks if I just leave "parent 2" blank. |
You would lie if you left parent 2 blank. because kids do have a parent. And that could cost you custody because there will be discovery process when schools will submit the paperwork for lawyers at court order |
Omg. Crawl back into your hole. |
What a nut job you are! Omitting your own kids mother from school administrators will be perceived horrible in court. I know a case when dad pulled this trick and mom was awarded sole custody as a result |
| My ex called the school district office saying he didn't want me to enroll the kids in the district. The district called me to find out what was going on. I said yes I am planning on enrolling them as the kids live with me full-time which was the truth. We had nothing filed in court yet. They couldn't stop me from enrolling the kids in the school district. And neither could my ex. |
This is a different situation. Kids lived with you full time for an extended period of time. It's not like you took them somewhere without your ex consent. |
No school is going to refuse to enroll a child with the correct paperwork full stop. Their job is to enroll kids not keep them out. |
They may enroll but father who omitted mom on that paperwork may loose custody. Any lawyer would tell that. And I've seen schools paperwork asking marital status and both parents sign - my friends' and my own child. Schools are fed up with custody battles and don't want to be caught in the middle |
OP’s kids have been living with DH full time. They aren’t separated. |
Ok you told the truth. Do you know there is a difference between telling the truth, and telling a lie, (fraudulent enrollment), which is what OP's husband would be doing if he did the same thing? |
Um no they haven't where did OP ever say that? |
OP says he hasn’t filed for separation and that he is planning on moving out. Which implies that they are still married and living together. Unless the kids are in boarding school, they are probably living in the same house as Dad and have been since birth. |
No one is saying that it would be ethically OK for OP's husband to take the kids on a "vacation" and then refuse to bring them back. No one is saying it would be OK for OP's husband to enroll the kids in a new school without her input. No one is saying it would be ethically OK for him to lie to the school about where their mother is. But until something is filed establishing who the kids are at which times, he could do those things. The system would allow it. Eventually, if OP filed, it's quite possible she would get the kids back, but it could be a long expensive and traumatizing process for her and the kids, and the odds aren't as good as they would be if he was in contempt. So, moving quickly and getting a court order now would both make it less likely that he will try to keep the kids in the other state, and if he does get try to keep them, less likely that he will be successful. |
