Thank You for the reply. I think she based her argument on issues like 1.) she can not fend for herself alone so there's no way she could feed him ( yes, she has a job) 2.) she does not have a place to live because she was ejected from the apartment she was in before her son was sent to her; 3) she's not the person in custody of the child. So all these factors she said will just make it impossible for her to put him to school-which of course the government would question if he's out of school for a long time.

My husband and I were thinking of taking him back and committing him to a place where they shape up these type of kids but she (ex-wife) does not approve of it.

I don't know, these are all new for me, I'm from another country and all these just blows me away but I'm learning...
