What happens when a parent has sole legal custody?
Only a parent with legal custody has the right to participate in special education decisions. If the court grants sole legal custody, the school should be informed, preferably in writing. Schools may request to see the divorce decree. The parent without legal custody will no longer be part of the special education process.
