I share 2 kids with my ex, we have 50/50 custody. Part of that custody agreement is she can't make big changes to their life (ie move schools) without my consent and vice versa.
The kids have always gone to school "A". We lived in the district while we were together. Now I am moving and trying to find a house. Well my town, which is small, is split in 2 districts A and B for elementary and 1 highschool on the B side.
I have found a great place to live but it's on the B side. Which is good for my oldest because he will be starting highschool this year. But my youngest would not get a bus and would have to walk 35+ mins to and from school on my days.... of course the obvious choice is move the kid school but I dont have the option as his mother has made it clear she won't OK a school move, which is fair considering she still lives in district to school A.
So I'm getting pretty annoyed, there already aren't alot of houses available and now my radius is dropped to about a 1 km circle ... I tried talking to the bus company about getting a bus some how, even if he has to meet at a stop a few blocks over. They said no...
Is anyone else dealing with this or has? What did you end up doing to get them to school everyday? When the school won't help and I am a single parent needing to be at work every morning.
