OPPOSITION TO MOTION FOR SCHOOL SELECTION FOR MINOR CHILD AND
COUNTERMOTION
(Your name) _____________________________________________ files this Opposition and
Countermotion to the motion for school selection for a minor child.
I. POINTS AND AUTHORITIES
When parents with joint legal custody do not agree regarding a child's schooling, they can
ask the court to decide what school selection is in the best interest of the child. Arcella v.
Arcella, 133 Nev. 868, 869–70, 407 P.3d 341, 344 (2017). The school that is in the child’s best
interest is not necessarily the most expensive or highest ranked school, but rather, the school that
is “best tailored to meet the needs of the particular child.” Id. at 872.
Page 2 of 7 – Opposition to Motion for School Selection
In determining which school a child should attend, the following factors are likely relevant
to consider:
(1) The wishes of the child, to the extent that the child is of sufficient age and
capacity to form an intelligent preference;
(2) The child's educational needs and each school's ability to meet them;
(3) The curriculum, method of teaching, and quality of instruction at each school;
(4) The child's past scholastic achievement and predicted performance at each
school;
(5) The child's medical needs and each school's ability to meet them;
(6) The child's extracurricular interests and each school's ability to satisfy them;
(7) Whether leaving the child's current school would disrupt the child's academic
progress;
(8) The child's ability to adapt to an unfamiliar environment;
(9) The length of commute to each school and other logistical concerns;
(10) Whether enrolling the child at a school is likely to alienate the child from a
parent.
Id. at 872–73.
“Determining which school placement is in the best interest of a child is a broad-ranging
and highly fact-specific inquiry, so a court should consider any other factors presented by the
particular dispute, and it should use its discretion to decide how much weight to afford each
factor.” Id. at 873.
II. FACTS AND ARGUMENT
1. The children’s names, grade levels, current and proposed schools are:
Child’s Name: Grade Level Current School Proposed School
2. What is the child(ren)’s current school(s)?

Is there anything else the judge should consider in deciding where the child should
attend school?
III. Other Relief
In addition to the relief requested above, I would like the Court to also order the following:
(Explain anything else that you would like the judge to order, or enter “N/A” if you do not want
anything else. Be specific.)
I respectfully ask the Court to deny the opposing party’s motion and grant me the relief requested
above, including an award of attorney’s fees if I am able to retain an attorney for this matter, and
any other relief the Court finds appropriate.
