My question involves a child custody case from the State of: Connecticut (technically) She moved to North Carolina recently
Long story short, I have been corresponding with my son's schools for the last 3 years about his attendance (this is supposed to be his Junior Year). He does not attend school regularly and his mother doesn't encourage or enforce that he ever had to attend.
She recently relocated with him to North Carolina but the original order was from Connecticut. It took her a month to even enroll him into a school in North Carolina!
Viewing his attendance in his new North Carolina school, it's the same exact pattern as when he lived in Connecticut. He's basically throwing his life away and she's letting him.
One school in Connecticut suggested JobCorps for him since they didn't think it possible for him to ever graduate. I applied him for JobCorps. Expectedly, the mother vetoed that decision and he was put into a special school with less students and more ratio with teachers. Again, expectandlty, his attendance issues continued.
Now in North Carolina, after corresponding with his new Guidance Counselor at the school, there is absolutely no way for him to graduate next June (2019) when he was supposed to graduate and the counselor said for him to try to get a GED. His 18th birthday is this August (2018). For three "full" years of school, he now has 7 total credits. The North Carolina school requires 22 for graduation. I want him to get his GED but he probably won't attend.
What are my options? Would a Judge realize that he's gong to be an adult, has never attended High-school regularly, and will more than likely never change his ways? Should I do a modification in Connecticut (or North Carolina or Maryland where reside)? Should the modification be done after his "senior" year starts in August?
I wanted nothing but success for my son, however his mother does not value the importance of an education the same way I do. I fear he has thrown his life away and will suffer these consequences forever and that she let him do it.
