separation decree from a court of competent jurisdiction) of the
parents and a change in the residence of the student pursuant
to a court order granting custody of the child to one of the
parents with whom the student shall reside. In the event joint

The eligibility of a student may be restored one-time if, after
establishing eligibility and complying with the initial court
order granting joint custody, a student relocates to permanently
reside with the other custodial parent. The grant of eligibility
shall only apply to the member school in which the residence
