Home Schooling Not In Best Interest Of These Children

"May [the chidren's mother] utilize her authority as domiciliary parent for making the major decision for the children's education (which is presumed in the best interest of the children) to lessen or avoid her economic support obligation to the children and to increase the permanent spousal support in her favor? Under the particular facts of this case, we find that the evidence rebuts the presumption that [the mother's] decision for home schooling is in the best interest of the children and that the trial court's ruling to the contrary was an abuse of its discretion." Donna G.R. v. James B.R., No. 39,005-CA (La. App. 2 Cir. 7/2/04).
