When you have joint custody, can one parent home school a child without the other parent’s consent?

I pulled my daughter out of regular school to attend a K-12 virtual school, before I did I told her father that I was doing. He wasn’t happy but told me “whatever”. Now he states that he is going to take me to court for this issue. He is behind his child support and I don’t push the issue at all. Now I am wondering on what I need to do?
