Virginia Custodial Parent Need Not Send Former Spouse School Records

Posted on Jun 30, 2009

The Virginia Court of Appeals denied a non-custodial parent's request to order the custodial parent to provide him copies of their children's school grades and other educational records. The Court reasoned that both the Final Decree of divorce and Virginia law afforded him the right to obtain such information upon request made by him to the children's school, and it was therefore unnecessary to require the custodial parent to do this for him.

FAQs

Virginia Divorce and Family Law Attorney

My husband and I are going through a divorce. In return for my giving up my half interest in our stocks -- currently valued at $100,000 -- he proposes carrying a term life insurance policy until he reaches age 65 with me as the beneficiary under which I will receive $500,000 if he dies before age 65. I think its worth the gamble because he's an idiot and will do something stupid to die young, but is it legal?. I don't want to do this if the court will not enforce it.

My child support payments are set by a court order. It was effective almost two years ago. However, due to the slowdown in the economy, my hours at work have been cut back and the reduction in my income has made it difficult for me to pay child support and my other expenses. My ex-wife knows about this but insists that I continue to pay the court-ordered amount of child support or she will have me held in contempt. Is there anything I can do?
