My daughters mom is now making it hard for me. I need to put her in school by my house and mom is fighting me to keep her in her same school even though it's over 15miles away from my house where the child currently resides. I'm confused about what to do, i'm tired of fighting with her been doin it too long. I'm finally getting to spend the deserved time with her and her mom seems to be sabotaging our relationship. what are my options legally? Is she old enough to decide legally that she wants to be with me? I live in Nevada.

Yes,you need to take it to court.Your daughter is old enough to say who she wants to live with in court. I was in the same situation.The judge split it in 6 mths for each parent.I still ended up staying with my dad, she just did the court thing to make it look like she was doing something.But yes, you need to do what is accessible for both you and your daughter.

You just need to get it in court ordered form that you have full legal physical custody of your daughter and your ex will have no say so whatsoever as to where your daughter goes to school. If you haven't done this then do it immediately. In the mean time, leave it up to your attorney and go ahead putting your daughter in the school by you. That also gives her the opportunity to make friends and build relationships in her area. That is very important. You can also use that as leverage with your ex wife. Good luck.

I'm currently going through a divorce and we have a son who is 9yrs old. However we are in Los Angeles, so regulations in regards to the minor child are most likely different than Nevada. My son is being represented by an attorney though and his feelings and thoughts are taken into consideration too, but he can't make the informed opinion of who to live with at this point since he's only 9. You need to speak to a lawyer and get his advice. I wouldn't worry about the school thing. If she is going to be in YOUR custody they will put her in a school in the area of the custodial parent. Right now my son is going to a school near where his father used to live because he went there last year and we shared 50/50, but mainly it was because he went there last year anyway so they were just following suit. Recently his father moved over 50 miles away from us and now I'm having our stipulation order changed so that he can be in school near my house since now I will be having him more than his father. Lawyers offer a free consultation so take advantage of it. You can then ask the lawyer if your daughter is of age to make some decisions. With my son, my lawyer flat out told me that with the IMPORTANT things, they aren't really going to take much into consideration due to my son's age.
Good luck to you. Hopefully your daughters mom can just "get over it" already and stop the bitter arguing. It doesn't help and she needs to listen to her daughter. I'm sure there is a GOOD reason your daughter wants to live with you.

your daughter is legally old enough to tell the court who she wishes to live with... the court will grant her - her wish... unless her mother can prove your are unfit
about the school, you should put her in a school close to your house where she can walk to and from if possible... this is the best...
make sure she understand there will be rules at your house and she will not be able to get away with anything... sometimes a child wants to reside with the other parent to get it easier when it comes to friends and going out/computer and talking on phone and such.

Of your daughter is going to live with you, and your ex is giving you grief, perhaps it's time to go through the courts for a LEGAL change of custody. This way, you have the option to send her to the school of your choice, etc.
Don't let your ex sabotage anything... just live your life, and ignore her opinions... it's easier to smile and blow her off than to get all angry and stressed out! try it.

i was a social worker for 10 yrs and it would be determined on how mature the child was and if the parent was jinacally able to raise the child in a stable home 1 parent can do this .and take it to court if u feel your daughter is better with you

Sounds like the mom just wants to cause problems.
The definitive answer sounds like the school district zoning.
I really doubt, living 15 miles from her current school, that she could legally attend that school living with you.
If the current school knows her new address, they would most likely force her to move to her zoned school.
Read between the lines.... ;)

You ,say that your Daughter is13 yrs.previous yet, sounds like an 18 year. previous. and she or he has been going out with a 14yr.previous guy. What I replace into attentive to on your daughter's habit is that her hormones are going finished blast on account that her physique seems older than she is.you assert that she is incredibly delicate so is that the rationalization which you do no longer positioned your foot down, with the aid of fact the asserting is going in giving her some policies that she has to abide? i'm a mom of 5 ladies the 1st 4 have been no challenge to me they had policies at abode and that they consistently respected that, however the youngest became into double hardship to me, I consistently had to ascertain on her at college to be certain if she became into there with the aid of fact she became into the rebellious form and boys have been consistently looking a thank you to be along with her. yet I consistently have been a shielding mom, and that i in no way enable her out of my sight. I gave a sight of relief whilst she have been given married to a remarkable guy. Please have a communique with your daughter and tell her which you suspect what she tells you approximately her relationship with this boy, yet which you're scared with the aid of fact often times in the previous you comprehend it thoughts get out of hand. which you believe her yet, you do no longer believe this guy. i'm hoping that absolutely everyone is going properly with you and your daughter.
