Question

In 2019, Mr. and Mrs. Reyes got divorced. As part of the divorce settlement, they agreed to joint parental authority over their two children aged 10 and 12. However, after the divorce, conflicts arose between the parents regarding major decisions concerning the children's education, health, and religious upbringing. Mr. Reyes wants the children to attend a private school, while Mrs. Reyes insists on enrolling them in a public school due to financial constraints. They also have disagreements about the children's religious education and medical treatments.

Based on the Family Code provisions on parental authority, kindly discuss the following issues:

1. What are the rights and responsibilities of parents with regard to major decisions involving their children's education, health, and religious upbringing?
2. How should the conflicts between Mr. and Mrs. Reyes in making decisions about the children's education, health, and religious upbringing be resolved?
3. What legal remedies are available to either parent in case of non-compliance by the other parent?
