How can I get the court’s permission to have me children schooled out of state for a year?

I have sole custody of my 3 children. Their father lives out of state. My sister has invited each of my children to spend a school year with her. She lives in Maui. I feel this would be a great experience for each of them, however their father is totally against it, what do I need to do so this can happen?

The way to get a court's permission to have your children schooled out of state is to file a petition with the court requesting such. Make sure that the children's father is served with the petition in a timely manner. The court will then make a ruling on your request and the decision memorialized in a written order. I suggest that you have a family law attorney assist you in what you want done.
