Legal experts say if everything isn't in order you could have problems in future
Recently divorced parents have been issued a warning to make sure everything is in order as their children head back to school. For divorcees with children, the beginning of a new academic year involves legal considerations which, if not properly addressed, can lead to conflicts and legal issues further down the line.
Approximately 3.18million UK families are headed by a single parent, according to recent data. With divorces historically spiking in August following the summer holidays, Jennifer Moore, Legal Director at Rayden Solicitors who are experts in child arrangements orders has shared the legal considerations newly separated must make as their child embarks on the new school year.
Responsibilities for school-related decisions must be clearly outlined to avoid disputes over pick-up and drop-off schedules, alongside participation in any school events. If these are not set in place, and large changes are made informally, progressing with these changes without the proper legal documentation may render them unenforceable if a conflict arises.Typically, both parents will possess the right to view their child's educational records, irrespective of custody agreements.
Any outdated or inaccurate information could lead to delays in urgent situations, whilst disagreements regarding medical decisions could result in further legal complications.It’s important to align the financial responsibilities of each parent where the child’s education is concerned, not only to ensure that your child’s needs are adequately addressed.
Clarify who will handle costs for school supplies, uniforms, extracurricular activities, and any additional requirements set forth by the school. Disagreements over unforeseen expenses can develop into legal disputes, so it’s essential to tackle these matters proactively within your custody and financial arrangements.
