Ex-wife has a very casual and laissez-fierre attitude to school attendance.
Now the 16 year old has missed so much school this year, so will not be able to obtain a Year 12 leaving certificate. Despite this, ex-wife has refused enrolment to a nearby state school and as the non-resident parent without the birth certificate, I have little or no say. There seems to be no attendance school policy as it is a private/independent school. So it seems that compulsory attendance is not mandated unlike at state schools. The school has not been proactive or actively contacting me with school absences as well, so it seems farcical to continue to pay school fees with minimal support and no secondary school outcome. Are there any way to improve prospects for the year 16 old, or compel an improved attitude to school attendance at all?
Have not gone to mediation and was just hoping to do financial consent orders but things are getting worse.
