Which parent has a say in how the children are raised is determined by the custody agreement. Consider the following scenario:

When Helen married John, she converted from Catholicism to his religion, Judaism. Neither Helen nor John was very religious, however. To a moderate extent, their two children were raised in the Jewish faith. The couple divorced when the children were ages four and five. Because of John’s job, he could not be the sole custodian of the children. Hence, he agreed that Helen receive sole custody. But he asked the court to order Helen to continue raising the children in the Jewish faith.

Under what circumstances do you think a court can grant this request, so that, in effect, John will be granted spiritual custody of the children, even though physical custody and legal custody (in all matters except religion) will be granted to Helen?
