[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If I was divorcing one of my biggest priorities would be keeping my kids in their current schools. If that means that I use my ex's address even if custody is no 50/50, that's what I'm doing.[/quote]

You might also go to jail and face very heavy fines.  Stop teaching your children that it is all right to lie.[/quote]

Jail? Come on. You sound like an idiot.[/quote]

Stop bullying this parent.  The article is not analogous AT ALL.  It concerned a homeless mom who registered a child at an address of a person who was not the parent.

OP, register your kid at any school in which district one parent lives. Yes, the rules often (but not always) say bona fide residence is where child spends 50% plus time, but it doesn’t say anything about the Sun to Fri BS teacher mentioned above.  It can include holidays, summers, etc.

In any case, I’ve been divorced for 10 plus years and no school has ever asked me for divorce decree showing custody - just utility bill, lease, etc. to show residence at address.

TBH, prosecution of a non-resident custodial parent when the custodial parent lives and pays taxes in the school district in which the child attends is very unlikely.  There’s no way for the state that it lost anything financially.  It would make the state look terrible.  It would force the state to inquire into the day-by-day custodial arrangements of thousands of children.  And, it’s probably family status discrimination.
