Question:

Can a noncustodial parent ask the child's school to forward a copy of the child's report card to them? Do they need some type of court order? Our agreement dosen't mention any thing about the child's report card and I keep being told they'll forward one but they never do. I want to know if there's a law that allows me to request the copies to be sent to me or what my rights are.

Answer:

Allow me to preface my answer to your question with the disclaimer that I am not licensed to practice law in the state of New York. Usually your court order states that you are entitled to such things. If it does, provide a copy to the school. If it does not then I would suggest speaking directly to the administrator at the school responsible for the report cards. In my jurisdiction, I am not aware of a law that entitles you to this, but usually a court order stating you are a legal parent is enough.
