Hi Everyone,
I've talked about this in a response in another post, but it has just elevated, so I thought I would create a new post for my particular situation.
My ex is French, I am English (speaking only). We live in QC now, but will be moving separately to Ottawa in April. I am essentially following her, as she is moving in with the new beau an hour away. We have a 3 year old and the ex is adamant that he go to all French school. If still together and in QC, he would be going to French school.
So, I am not comfortable about not being involved in my son's education, being able to read and sign school documents, know what's going on, etc. The ex tells me that that's ridiculous because it's for kindergarten, and that if I really want to know something, I can contact the school directly. But my concern also stems from a parenting perspective and being there for my son and helping him with his education, development, etc. He actually has called me "dumb" because I don't speak French - he knows not what he says, but right now is completely bilingual.
It gets real nasty, but I suggested sending him to a French immersion school, but apparently, that's not good enough. She says she will fight me on this one and take me to court. Can she do that? And what would a judge say? And finally, in cases like this, how does it come to a decision when both parents are at a stalemate.?
Thanks for your help
