College 12 months brings residency issues for daughter

Q. I offered my home in June when my oldest little one graduated from highschool and rented a house for myself and my youngest within the subsequent city over. I couldn’t afford to contribute to school except I had the sale proceeds. I figured this may be effective as a result of my ex was nonetheless residing in the identical city.

I realized this week that he has moved in together with his girlfriend and rented out his home. So, at this level neither of us lives on the town. My daughter has no relationship with him for causes I can’t perceive, however my son does.  As a outcome, I don’t have a authorized deal with for our daughter to attend faculty, and she or he should change colleges if that is found.  When I stuffed out the registration types for this faculty 12 months, I used my ex’s deal with, and I did textual content him to let him know I used to be doing that and he by no means mentioned a phrase about not residing there.

What are my choices to maintain her in her identical faculty for her final two years of highschool?

A. Regardless of whether or not your ex saved the main points of his transfer a secret or not, you continue to have an issue.  You can solely legally use your ex’s deal with to your daughter to attend faculty in that city if she truly spends time at his home.  You might verify with the Superintendent, however in most cities the kid has to sleep in that city for 50% or extra of the times annually. The truth she spends zero nights with him as a result of she has no relationship with him is problematic for you and much more so to your daughter as she would be the one to pay the final word penalties if that is found.

Have a sit down along with your ex.  Explain what occurred and that you simply didn’t notice this was an issue.  Ask for his assist.  If he’s renting to a tenant, he could have an association with regard to his mail.  Hopefully he’s prepared to stay quiet concerning the deal with scenario. However, if his tenants have youngsters enrolled in the identical faculty, it’s possible you’ll discover the issue found by the varsity sooner moderately than later.

Next it is best to instantly search for a spot to hire within the city you wish to maintain her in. It could price extra, and you’ll have to pay to interrupt your present lease.  But it’s in all probability value it to your daughter.

Maybe your ex would hire his home to you as an olive department to your daughter.
