Yes, the assumption is that the parent with whom the child resides the majority of the time is where the child will also be living during the school year. However, in cases where religious or private schools are the issue, a decision by a judge may be necessary if the parents cannot reach an equitable solution.

In the Final Decree of Divorce the Court decided or yourself and your ex agreed who would have primary residence of the child. My advice is to read through your Decree to get answers concerning your child's primary residence. The primary residence will include the school the child will be attending.

Although the child should attend school in the district where they live when the parents share joint legal custody each has the right to participate in making that decision when there are several choices.

If I have custody of my child and don't receive child support and I allow my child to go live with his father is he entitled to child support?

He may be. It will be determined by a court if he decides to take it up with the state. If you have custody, was there a stipulation regarding child support? If there was a divorce agreement it may state the stipulations regarding support and custody. If the custodial parent is giving up physical custody of the child to the previously non-custodial parent then child support may be changed.
