[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please make sure you read the regs on whichever school district you are in.  You're getting a lot of bad advice on here about where the kids are supposed to attend.  In FCPS you can choose which school dsitrict if it's 50/50, but anything other than that the kids have to go to school where they reside the majority of the time.

For PP who said schools don't sit outside your house to decide if kids are living in the right place -- yes, they absolutely do, depending on where you live.  The VA districts have attendance officers whose only job is to investigate these issues.  There are anonymous hotlines set up so parents can report families for investigation.[/quote]

Hi poster, the Fairfax county regs don't agree with you. They are here. https://www.fcps.edu/registration/general-registration-requirements

OP, call the school system where you live and ask if there are any specific residency requirements for your kids. Divorce is very common, and most schools don't have any interest in poring through your legal papers to determine whether your kid sleeps at home 51 percent of the time. Most school systems just ask for a deed or rental agreement and don't make requirements about your custody arrangement. [/quote]
