How Do You Write A Legally-Binding Document
In our current court order, dated August, 2010, I have the "sole-decision-making authority to make all educational decisions regarding school and otherwise" for our minor 4 minor children. There is, however, the added stipulation that requires I "notify" the other parent 45-days prior to changing schools. There is currently an issue with our middle school student who is being bullied and the campus appears to be on a downward spiral - fighting, bullying, and excessive classroom disruption are at a high. I would like to change schools - immediately - however, I have the 45-day issue. If I explain the situation to my ex-wife and she agrees I do not have to wait the 45-days - what legal procedure can I follow to document her approval, in writing, and have it legally binding without going to court? Help, please!

Hey, Chuck - it's actually our middle school-attending son. The children and I live in Northern California whereas the children's mother lives in Chicago, Illinois.

Honestly, she is usually disagreeable just to disagree - just to exercise power because, at this point, she almost has none. I have "sole-decision making authority" in every area - the 45-day notice applies to educational choices only.

I also don't need her approval. It just requires me to give an advance notice. I never thought about the 45-day clause because I never foresaw a change of schools. He's changing schools no matter what, I was just hoping to do it quickly.

Wow! Thank you, sir! Thanks for your wisdom! I'm going to change schools regardless of the 45 day... The court order allows "sole decision making" in every area. Change of schools requires notice, yet I have 3 horrific videos as evidence.
