In the event of a divorce or separation, the registering parent will be requested to provide judge signed and court documented custody papers. The parent that has primary physical custody will need to enroll the child based on their address.

 

In cases of separation or divorce the student will be deemed to reside with the parent/guardian who is indicated in the legal agreement or the court's final decree to have physical custody. In cases of joint physical custody by parents, the student will be deemed to reside with the parent/guardian with whom the student resides overnight during the majority of the school week (Forsyth County Schools Board of Education Policy JBCAA).

 

NOTE: If parents do not have judge signed custody documents, they may complete an Adult Affidavit (available at the Registration Center).
