Unfortunately (and someone correct me if I'm wrong here), I think the hands of the court are tied by how they feel the constitution directs. Not by the motivation of the vindictive ex, the mother's feelings or the child's wishes. Seems to me to be a case where, by initiating the lawsuit, the father took the reins out of everyone's hands. Both he and his lawyer should be drawn and quartered.

Oh, but that's an antiquated system of law that we abolished a long time ago. Maybe we'll start to reconsider our own when it starts to dawn on people that it can be similarly barbaric.]]>http://www.plime.com/l/46121/1/rss2_0.rss#q20http://www.plime.com/l/46121/1/rss2_0.rss#q20plime.com <![CDATA[justme @ 1/10/2008 1:42:07 PM]]>1. When did the man become an athiest?
2. Why did he become an atheist?
3. Who is the major financial contributer to the boys welfare?
4. If the father is a true atheist, how can he handle money which has in "GOD WE TRUST", and go to the court house in which that is inscribed?
5. Can he honestly bring home a paycheck and trust his employer?
And finally it's time he got a life]]>http://www.plime.com/l/46121/1/rss2_0.rss#q19http://www.plime.com/l/46121/1/rss2_0.rss#q19plime.com <![CDATA[coyotemoon @ 1/7/2008 2:19:35 AM]]>

The child began school in a Catholic school and has attended for 9 years. The father is a newly-avowed atheist, as prior to this, he has participated in his son's first communion, for instance. He also celebrates Christmas. Divorce can be ugly. In this case, the father is using his so-called atheism to force a change for this child which the child does not want. What 14 year old would want to go to an entirely different school from the one to which all of his friends of the past nine years are attending. The last time I checked, atheism was not a synonym for selfishness, but in this case, the father is using it as a cudgel to get what he wants, regardless of the effect this publicity has on his child.I did.

Anyway, although I don't like catholic schools, if the kid is happy there, let him stay. This would be a whole different case if he hated it, but I see no mention of that. His father's just being an idiot, and not thinking rationally.]]>http://www.plime.com/l/46121/1/rss2_0.rss#q17http://www.plime.com/l/46121/1/rss2_0.rss#q17plime.com <![CDATA[twinmom94 @ 1/5/2008 11:02:16 PM]]>http://www.plime.com/l/46121/1/rss2_0.rss#q16http://www.plime.com/l/46121/1/rss2_0.rss#q16plime.com <![CDATA[DerAlt1 @ 1/5/2008 9:38:10 PM]]>
Quote from the Ky constitution:

"Kagin said part of Kentucky’s constitution reads, "Nor shall any man be compelled to send his child to any school to which he may be conscientiously opposed."

How much will the judge feel he can bend the law?]]>http://www.plime.com/l/46121/1/rss2_0.rss#q15http://www.plime.com/l/46121/1/rss2_0.rss#q15plime.com <![CDATA[germz @ 1/5/2008 8:43:37 PM]]>« tundramonkey : Regardless of which school the 14-year-old boy attends, he is old enough to make up his mind about religion/indoctrination.

Besides, as pointed out above, catholic schools tend to produce more atheists than anything, so he shouldn't be too concerned about it.]]>http://www.plime.com/l/46121/1/rss2_0.rss#q12http://www.plime.com/l/46121/1/rss2_0.rss#q12plime.com <![CDATA[twinmom94 @ 1/5/2008 5:23:14 PM]]>http://www.plime.com/l/46121/1/rss2_0.rss#q11http://www.plime.com/l/46121/1/rss2_0.rss#q11plime.com <![CDATA[muppet @ 1/5/2008 4:45:47 PM]]>« pulsisx : As far as I know the best way to keep someone from being a catholic is to send them through catholic school.

my father is catholic and my mother is a baptist. i went into catholic school as a believer. came out as a non.

for me it is just the difference between private and public education, and i think the father is a douche for trying to deny his son of a good education. pretty effin' petty.]]>http://www.plime.com/l/46121/1/rss2_0.rss#q9http://www.plime.com/l/46121/1/rss2_0.rss#q9plime.com <![CDATA[yoornotme @ 1/5/2008 3:41:24 PM]]>« larknet : Just more reasons to not send my kids to a Catholic school]]>http://www.plime.com/l/46121/1/rss2_0.rss#q8http://www.plime.com/l/46121/1/rss2_0.rss#q8plime.com <![CDATA[larknet @ 1/5/2008 3:15:45 PM]]>http://www.plime.com/l/46121/1/rss2_0.rss#q7http://www.plime.com/l/46121/1/rss2_0.rss#q7plime.com <![CDATA[sholom22 @ 1/5/2008 2:59:37 PM]]>« pulsisx : As far as I know the best way to keep someone from being a catholic is to send them through catholic school.

Some simple questions I would ask were I judge;

•Was the Mother Catholic when they were married?

•What grades or how well is the son doing in school?

If the mother was Catholic and dad knew, and the son is doing well in school, I as the judge, would tell dad to shut his pie hole.Agreed.

Parents decide what's best for their kids. In this case, it should be up to whomever has custody of the boy.

Incidentally, I don't think the nuns are going to hold a gun to his head and force him to be Catholic. If he doesn't want to be, he won't be. He'll have the whole rest of his life to backslide. In the meantime, private school probably is best.]]>http://www.plime.com/l/46121/1/rss2_0.rss#q4http://www.plime.com/l/46121/1/rss2_0.rss#q4plime.com <![CDATA[Hoosker @ 1/5/2008 1:51:39 PM]]>Some simple questions I would ask were I judge;
