Should I Share Custody Information With My Child’s Teacher?

Deciding whether or not to share custody information with your child’s school is difficult. On the one hand, you may feel that the school professionals need to know to be best prepared in case of a custody transfer. On the other hand, you may not want to share this information with anyone outside of your family. In this blog post, our child custody attorneys at Law Office of Michael R. Young will discuss the pros and cons of sharing custody information with school professionals and help you make the best decision for your family.

It Depends

The decision of whether or not to discuss your child custody plan with your child’s teacher is up to you and your child’s other parent. When it comes to sharing custody information with school professionals, there are pros and cons to consider.

Benefits of Sharing This Information

On the plus side, school professionals can be prepared in case of a custody transfer. They can make sure that your child gets on the correct school bus and is prepared for parent pick-up.

Why You Might Want To Think Twice

On the other side, you may not want to share this information with anyone outside of your family. If you and your child’s other parent wish to keep your current time-sharing arrangement private, you might wish to not let others other than your immediate family know about your current custody arrangement.

Also, if your child is old enough to remember which bus to get on or drive themself to and from school, you might not want to share their custody agreement with their teacher or school administrators.

Giving You The Upper Hand Through This Difficult Time

Ultimately, the decision of whether or not to share custody information with school professionals is a personal one. While our child custody attorneys at Law Office of Michael R. Young cannot make this decision for you, we can help you prepare for whichever result you do choose.
