If you share legal custody, you may be wondering: “Can I sign my child’s IEP on my own?”

The answer? It depends on what your custody order actually says.

Joint legal custody doesn’t necessarily mean that every educational decision has to be made in exactly the same way. Your order may address who has decision-making authority, whether certain decisions must be mutual, and what happens when you and the other parent disagree.

Before you sign or refuse to sign an IEP, take a close look at your custody order.

And if you’re still unsure, that’s a good time to get legal guidance.

Save this post for later, and share it with a parent who needs to see it. ⚖️
