Two parents- custodial Mother living in Florida- Father living in NY- have agreed to a change of custody. Our school district here in NY requires Family court papers with a raised seal to prove custody to enroll a new student. Florida divorce papers are not 50 pages long like NY ones :), it is simply a signed, sealed document.Nowhere on this document is custody mentioned, just a divorce decree.... Parents have agreed minor child should come to NY and live with father, as mother works nights/weekends and child is failing school-badly.. How do the parents prove this new custody agreement so child can be enrolled in NY school? The court system in our area is very back logged and it could take months to get a date, go to court and Simply change this. We are looking for the fastest, easiest and frugal way to handle this. Th
Our school Registar will NOT enroll a student without proof of custody if the child has divorced parents.
Change of child custody without the court system?in texas they wouldn't either... get a court paper saying you have custodial rights would be my advice.. no change to custody is legal without the courts ok
