Hello Peter, hope all is well. Hello Peter, hope all is well. The mother of my children is trying to force me into allowing my son to complete their education in the private school.I informed the private school that I wanted to move my boy to join his sister in her public school. I don't want him to attend the private school any longer.Mother and gone ahead and cancelled the public school application.She does not currently give her permission for my son to transfer to another school, the school is unable to continue with the admission. They require the permission of both parents, separately and in writing, within 5 school days, or a copy of a court order confirming I am able to make an application without reference to her. If they do not receive this, the offer will be withdrawn and the application cancelled.

I have come to the realization that my ex doesnt care about the children education, she's only concerned with the social meeting with other mothers for wine drinking/coffee drinking after school runs. The final straw was when I registered the children for after school tuition, and she encouraged them not to attend. I wanted them to gain entrance in to grammar school, I feel I am wasting the money. She tried to get my consent to apply for a bursary, and I refused. the School cost 12k per year per children , she has also spoken to other parents who have volunteered to pay for my son, I refused the offer. I want him in a public school. I would need to apply to the family court in the next 24hrs as an emergency hearing.

Thank you, ***** ***** has not allowed my son to visit me since I announced that I wanted to move him to public school, he's 9 years old.

Thank you for the additional information.

You do, essentially, need to make a specific issue order application.

This is the application to make where there is a disagreement over school choice.

The issue is separate to the time you spend with him though, of course, and his mother stopping contact because of this disagreement is something the court would frown upon.

The school in question should be able to keep the place on hold on the basis of the information that there is a court application in place to decide the outcome of the disagreement.

You can be firm in reminding the mother that disagreements between adults should not impact on the time you spend with your son and invite her to reconsider this decision before taking the matter to court.

I hope that this is helpful. A c100 application is the one you need to make for a specific issue order.

Can I clarify anything more for you?

Peter, thank you, ***** ***** I use the c100 for both the school issue and the contact reinstatement? Furthermore, her mother (children's grandmother) insights (and threatens me with) parental alienation she calls the shots WRT Mother's action, can I bring a separate case against her?
Customer: replied 13 days ago.
Sorry Peter I didn't get back to you after your initial response, I'd gone out to the gym

You can do both with the c100, yes. Technically breaching the order should be an enforcement application. But you can list two points under the specific issue order - 1. the school and 2. for contact to resume as per the previous order.

You can't bring a case against your child's grandparent in the family court unless you are applying for a non molestation order if they are harassing you.

I trust that clarifies the additional points for you?
