Divorce Advice for Men | Fathers Rights Divorce | Child Custody

Question:

My wife and I in a separation period, though still legally married. My wife and her mother (my mother-in-law) are trying to change my son’s school district, presumably closer to my wife so she would have a better chance at getting custody.

My wife is also planning on giving her mother power of attorney so that she will have the right to review and determine our child's education.

Can she give her mother power of attorney without my consent and then move my son to another school district?

Question:

My ex-wife has primary custody of our son, but I would like to know if I can modify the child custody schedule due to his poor grades.

Over the last several years our son has failed the majority of his classes and gotten in trouble at school, including a recent suspension.

Is the fact that he is failing out of school and is routinely in trouble because of his poor behavior enough of a reason to attempt to modify child custody and have him live with me?

Question:

My ex-wife and I share child custody 50-50. We live near each other but in different school district boundaries.

She wants to pull our kids out of the school district they have been in their whole lives (the one in my neighborhood) and enroll them in a school district closer to her a few miles away.

Can my ex-wife place the children in another school district without my consent?

Question:

My ex, refuses to use our child's legal last name in school. Yes, she is enrolled as my last name but my ex and my child informed me that the teachers and school faculty call our child by her mother’s last name instead.

My ex says it’s easier that way when signing her in and out of school/daycare. She does this so much that our child thinks her last name is the same as her mothers.

My last name is on the birth certificate and I have 50% legal custody. I pay support and never miss my visitation with our child. How can I get the school to stop using my ex's last name for our child and ONLY use her legal last name (which is mine)?
