Choice of school

09/01/07 05:15 PM

I had a custody Evaluation and it was decided that joint legal, joint physical custody would be best for our son. Unfortunately , the evaluation recommended a "step up" plan , so at the moment its more like 70/30 to give our son time to adjust to things. And after 60 days it goes to 60/40 and then another 60 days after that 50/50.

Still living with Stbx, son has been going to local school where we live. But now custody eval is complete, stbx is moving out to an adjoining city ( 5 miles away ). Stbx has left everything to the last minute, and won't actually move into the new place until one day after the new city's school year starts. And that city won't enroll son, until she has proof of residence (utility bill). The local school that son has been going to starts this coming Tuesday. Because Stbx at first said she would be out by end of month ( and is not ) , I don't have full faith that she will move when she says she will. I have therefore re-signed our son up at local school ( she agreed to this - but said temporarily ).

So here's my conundrum I believe it would be better for our son to continue going to the local school, because he is already used to it / has friends there. Academic wise, the new school district's school is 40 points more than the local, but both execeed State's target academic level. So on the point difference you could argue, new school is "better".
He will be starting at the local school this coming Tuesday, I don't know when stbx will get approval for him to start at new school, so it could be a week, 2 weeks , a month or later.
I'm thinking of insisting on son continuing at local school, even if she gets approval at new school. Anyone see the pros and cons in this ???

TIA
