My ex and I enjoy 50/50 parenting with our kids. Our Final Order regarding custody states that we are to inform each other within 2 hours when a child is sick and kept home from school.
Last year at about this time I discovered that one of my sons was only going to school about 60% of the time when he is with the ex (and 100% of the time when with me).
After court action last February the judge (who was SHOCKED) ordered that that when the child is kept home by his mother she is to get a doctors note.
I just got the children's attendance record from school and, sure enough, there are occurrences wherein she did not notify me and out of six such absences there are no doctors notes.
My question is what can be done. Clearly she is not about to obey court orders. A contempt motion? What would the achieve?
Any ideas would be gratefully appreciated.
