Changing Placement Schedule After 12 Years

My question involves a child custody case from the State of: Wisconsin

Okay, so after 12 years, my stepson has the choice of which school he wants to go to for High School (he was required to remain in the same district through middle school per the original agreement) and he has chosen to leave the district he has been in (where his Dad lives) and go to school in the district that his Mother and I live in. Because of that, his Father is threatening to take us back to court to have the current placement schedule changed. The placement schedule has never had anything to do with his school the logic is flawed and my Stepson states that he wants the schedule to just be left as is (although he's a teenager and we wonder how much he just tells us what he thinks we want to hear and how much he tells us the truth). The other challenge is that the placement schedule that we actually use was an agreement made years ago and is not the actual placement schedule. It's only slightly different and was changed with my Stepson's interest in mind. I know he would have a voice in any changes but based on this information, do you think a judge would agree to changing the schedule? I read somewhere online that the change would need to have the child's best interest in mind and I don't see that being the case here, it's just that he doesn't want to have to drive him to school an extra day during the week and he wants to use this as a ploy to get time on the weekends.

Folks are going to need details from the court order verbatim with any names removed to help you sort this out... Not to mention, mom herself would be helpful.

Details like, what does the placement schedule in the order say? What is actually occurring now? How would the schedule change if he went to the new school.

What, specifically, does the order say about school? I seriously doubt it says child can choose his own high school.

How far apart you live may also be important.

Re the bolded: It could very well say that the child gets to choose between mom and dad's district for high school. It sounds like an agreement rather than something ordered strictly by a judge.

Indeed, you do have a good point.
