What can I do if my ex has custody of our teenage daghter and has let her drop out of school?

My ex has primary custody of our 16 year old daughter (our daughter lives with her). Our custody papers are about 10 years old and are very “general”. I just found out that my ex has allowed our daughter to drop out of school against my better judgement. She has lied to me on several occasions about actions regarding my daughter. I feel as if I have no say so in the matter. Is there anything that I can do to ensure that my daughter will still receive some form of education? I am very against her being pulled out of school. Can I do anything.

Based upon what you have written I suggest that you consult with a family law attorney to see what can be done to change the present custody arrangement between you and your "ex". I agree with you that allowing your minor daughter to drop out of school is poor judgment by your "ex".
