This is a difficult question to give any guidance on with out knowing more of the facts and reading your custody and support agreement.  Children who are legally supposed to attend school should be in school.  There is no doubt about that.  I think that your children may be technically of school age but not required by state law to attend school, correct?  Like Pre-K or K situation?  Then you would need to seek court help to modify or clarify your agreement here to enforce or change it to force her to register them.  Then after school would be an issue as to payment I would think. Get help. Good luck.
