My exhusband and I both live in McHenry County, Illinois.

We currently have joint legal custody, and 50/50 parenting time.

Once our daughter starts kindergarten, we still have shared legal custody, but his visitation is reduced to every other weekend and a few hours Wednesday afternoons.

I have residential custody.

Because I have residential custody, I was of the belief that our daughter would be going to school in our district. I visited the schools and before-and-after-school care centers in our area.

My exhusband is now insisting that she go to school in his district. I am not happy with that option.

1. Can she go to school in his district (I have read that enrolling a child where they are not "residents", can bring on criminal charges, and he is NOT residential custodian)?

2. If the answer to #1. is "yes", what steps do I need to take to move forward, keeping her in my district?

First of all, which school has a better school report card? Have you visited the school district where he lives? As long as the parent has custody, which you both have, you should be able to enroll her in either district.
