Child welfare

Dear Experts,
My wife is living separately since May 2010. We have a son, 7 years old, who is living with me since then. She has totally ignored the son and left his welfare to me. She does not want to even talk to our son on phone. I have applied for RCR in 2011 and there was no response from her. The court judgement came in Oct2011 asking her to resume family life, to which there is no response again.
Now, for our son, I have applied to a residential school, wherein a commitment of 10 years of stay has to be given. I have explained them about our situation and applied with my signature alone, where, both the parents' signature was required.
My wife is not responding to my request for signature on the application. I am going to pay entire fees.
My question is, legally can I give an affidavit to the school to declare my responsibility completely on the child's welfare and education? Will there be any problem for the school if they admit him on my assurance?

You can provide such affidavit without any hitch and this is not going to make any problem for you or to the school and if your wife is not caring for the welfare of your child, it is solely now your responsibility to do so.
