71. HOT TAKE - Dad Enrols Kid in Public School Against Mom's Wishes
Sep 04, 2025When you disagree with your ex BUT have joint decision making power over your child, what do you do?
In today’s episode, I go into exactly how to break down these seemingly impossible conflicts using a real life example of a dad who enrolled his son in public school against his ex’s wishes. She had been homeschooling their son and this massive curveball was thrown her way a week before school started.
This example is a good one – demonstrating the conflicting values and priorities of coparents while simultaneously sharing decisions.
I break down possible motivations (they’re not always what you think), and how to approach a similar conflict using my 3 step process.
