How can I protect my child’s education during a custody dispute in NC?
Custody battles are tough—but your child’s school life shouldn’t suffer because of it. North Carolina courts prioritize the best interests of the child, and that includes educational stability.
Here’s how to protect your child’s education:
- Maintain consistency – Courts often prefer the child stay in the same school, especially if they’re thriving there.
- Keep teachers in the loop – Make sure the school has updated custody orders and knows who can pick up your child or attend meetings.
- Address extracurriculars and tutoring in your custody plan – This ensures those needs don’t fall through the cracks.
- Be proactive – If disputes arise (like school choice or schedule conflicts), address them quickly—either through modification or mediation.
Judges will take note when one parent is clearly putting the child’s academic and emotional needs first.
