You can pick your child up from school if you have joint legal custody. However, picking a child up after school is not something that can be left to chance. It should be arranged by agreement between the parents. You should be discussing this issue with the other parent. You should not be thinking of stopping by the school unannounced to pick the child up when there is a usual routine in place. Any time the usual routine will be modified the other parent, the child and the school should be notified in advance.

What is joint sole custody?
Parents who don't live together have joint custody (also called shared custody) when they share the decision-making responsibilities for, and/or physical control and custody of, their children. Joint custody can exist if the parents are divorced, separated, or no longer cohabiting, or even if they never lived together.
Can a custodial parent prevent the non-custodial parent from having someone else pick the child up from school?
School is not a place of visitation, and ultimately the school is responsible for returning the child to the custodial parent at the end of the day, unless that specific custodial parent has notified the school of other arrangements. In this situation, it is imperative that the court order that sets forth legal custody be on file at the school.You need to check the laws in your particular jurisdiction by consulting an attorney or an advocate at the family court. Your question implies a non-custodial parent taking the child out of school during the school day. Generally, Unless the parents have shared legal custody, the non-custodial parent has no right to remove the child from school.The parent with sole legal custody should make certain the school has a copy of the court order that granted them sole legal custody. If someone other than the custodial parent will be picking up the child during the school day the parent should notify the principal in writing and also call to confirm. If necessary, the school should have on record a copy of the visitation schedule if the non-custodial parent will pick the child up after school on their visitation days.

Yes. Only with the written permission of the primary custodial parent can the child be released to someone else.
