When will the court order a primary school to be located where the children go to school?
Nova Scotia, Canada
The following excerpt is from C.J. v. G.K., 2015 NSSC 248 (CanLII):
Courts have often expressed reluctance in being asked to determine where children should go to school in situations involving joint custody. For example, in Larter v. Guenther, 2013 SKQB 346, Schwann J. stated, after reviewing a number of authorities: …In situations of joint custody the court is most reluctant to dictate where a child should go to school and the parents should be encouraged to resolve this matter amongst themselves. If they cannot agree the best interests of the child will govern. [para. 18].
