Understanding Joint Custody and School Authorization Rights

Joint custody is a common arrangement for separated or divorced parents, allowing them to share responsibility for their child’s upbringing. When both parents have 50/50 joint custody, the child typically spends equal time with each parent, and both parents share in the decision-making regarding education, healthcare, and other important aspects of the child’s life. However, situations can arise where additional permissions are required to facilitate everyday tasks, like accessing schoolwork. Below, we’ll explore how this plays out, especially when one parent has authorization to grant access to their spouse to assist with the child’s homework and classwork, even while the child is with the biological father.
