Can a child be made to go to school in 2 different states?
My son has articulation and delay issues; he currently goes to pre-school in a special education program and speech therapy. He has an IEP which ensures this. Recently the local judge changed visitation to pull him out of school for 1 week every month for visitation with his mother who lives in another state; she had to enroll him in school there. So my son currently goes to school for three weeks here and then 1 week there. Is there and case law or law in general that forbids this? Also, if I get his IEP changed to say he must do his special education and speech in his regular school can a district judge trump that?

Based upon the order that you have written about a child can be made to go to school in two different states. It is entirely based upon the discretion of the judge issuing the order that you have written about.
I suggest that you consult with a family law attorney to see what your legal options are to change the order presently in effect concerning your child.
