I just wanted to share that for non custodial parents whom have problems finding out their children's progress in school, you may want to look up the FERPA RIGHTS for non custodial parents. Basically, it states that if you are the natural parent, you are paying child support and you do not have any legal court action against you, you may request your child's school records and the schools have to abide by this law. Even if the full custody parent threatens the schools or states doesnt want records to be shared, the schools have to abide by this law because it's a Federal law. I know things can be tough especially if you live out of state and both parties are at odds...this is just one tool to keep in touch with your child to see how they are doing in school.
