Building my life...

[mahhhty]

Thanks Raliced! I appreciate your support and your balanced words (which I used to formulate a balanced responses).

Here is my draft response. Thoughts?

We obviously have a disagreement here. We have an equal say in the choice of schools as we have joint custody. If you want to take this to a legal route - you are free to pursue that along with the time and expense - However I am willing to continue to try and work this out with you in the best interests of the children. We won't be able to litigate every disagreement.

Here is what I suggest. I'm concerned about what the plan is when you are not able to pick up the kids, since I will be farther away and unable to to assist as often. If we proceed with this new school, I will want a formal plan in place about what will happen regarding drop offs and pick ups when they are with you and you have a scheduling conflict. I believe this may be an appropriate time to review the parenting plan schedule we have been operating outside the schedule for a long time with regards to Fridays.

Also as their father, I would like to know who will be living with my children. I'm sure you will appreciate the same consideration when my living circumstances change.
