Legal Question in Family Law in California
My ex and I live in different states (CO is the state where our court order was filed). My daughter lives primarily with me. I will be moving 20 miles from my current home which is closer to work and closer to family which takes our daughter out of her current school district. My ex and I share joint decision making on education, there is no deadlock procedure other than mediation before filing with the court. If I am no longer living in the district, is this still considered an educational decision? How do I confer regarding a school change that is a result of a move and not specifically resulting from an educational decision?
I want to make sure that things are on the up and up, but I'm at an impasse on specifically how one is to confer about this change. Historically conversations turn hostile, and if I'm being honest, I also dread conversations at the risk of being attacked.

First of all, I'm assuming that this case is in California. With that being said, the best way to get a clear answer would be to have an experienced California family law attorney review the actual court orders that you have in your family law case.
If you share joint legal custody with your ex, it's best to discuss the concerns that you have about school enrollment.
