[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have 50/50 custody (physical and legal). DD is in elementary school now, and her dad has been taking her out of school for various not-officially-excusable reasons.

We are already re-writing our custody agreement because many things have changed since it was originally written. Do any of you have clauses related to missing school, notification, permission, etc.? Example would be if one parent wanted to take the child out of town on vacation during a time that is that parent's scheduled custody time but is also during the school week. Is that parent required to notify the other parent? Is there anything that can be done to prevent school absences for reasons other than illness and emergency?[/quote]

more than 10 unexcused absences should result in a CPS being called.  If your child is missing school for vacations, the school likely won't excuse it and you can expect that if 10 are passed, CPS will be called and you will be in a better place to get what you want custody wise from your ex (as long as you haven't contributed to the unexcused absences).  But, yes, you should be able to prevent his removing the child for non-approved activities.  [/quote]
