Exw and I have been separated (not divorced) for three years. We have joint custody and 50:50 child sharing of our daughter (9 years old). Our separation agreement was drafted by my exw and I signed it cause I agreed with it and we were amicable. At the time, a child sharing arrangement was not decided nor included in the agreement. We soon went to a 60:40 split for sharing. Things between us were amicable and we had a great coparenting relationship. Then my exw's bf enters the picture. Things quickly became sour. He is going through an acrimonious separation with lawyers. Since September 2018 my exw and I have a 50:50 split. There was no documentation (amendment or otherwise) of the child sharing arrangement ever, and my exw refuses to acknowledge our current 50:50 after my repeated requests. My exw also refuses to acknowledge that we have joint custody and repeatedly violates my right as having part custody. She makes all important decisions for our daughter without consulting me. My exw and bf live together and moved to a house 40km outside our daughter's school catchment area. Our daughter loves her school and has many cherished friends. Her mother and I both drive her to school and pick her up on our respective days. I've asked my exw to keep her at this school until she graduates grade 8, regardless of moving to her new home. My exw and her lawyer have told me that she will move our daughter as she sees fit and its in the our daughter's best interests. She said that I have no rights as her father and no say. Recently, I have heard my daughter mention a school near her mother's that her mother has been trying to convince her of going to. My daughter does not want to change schools and has made it clear to her mother and I that she would not want to. I contacted the school to inform them of our joint custody and that I do not agree with any move to that school. The school assured me they would inform me if the mother attempted to and would need proof of custody in a separation agreement. Tonight, my exw sent me an email telling me she has registered our daughter at that school as she feels its her best interests. She told me to stop calling the school about it. She has told me I can't do anything to stop it, that that is where our daughter is going to school whether I like it or not.
What recourse do I have?
