Do I have to pay for private school?

Stealth didn't even make the comment that she got her panties in a twist over.

Were you and hubby together when it was decided that 11 yo would go to private school? If so, how come you didn't get it figured into the child support order?

Go to DCSE and ask for a modification order.

Good Luck!

It sGetting a full time job does not benefit my family. I have a 2 year old that needs me at home and my son is very active in soccer year around being selected to be on a select team. My child needs me to be availabe for pick up and drop offs at school being 8:30am drop off and 3:30 pm pick up time then we are off to 2 hour soccer practices .. not to mention having my hands full with the demands of a toddler. It doesn't benefit my family to pay for daycare and it isn't something we want to do. Not to mention there would be an additional cost for before and after school care for my 11 year old which is another expense.

Oh, so the 11-year-old doesn't need your FULL financial support? Oh yeah, of course not because DAD is the one paying.

Will women like you ever get it? BOTH parents have a financial responsibility to FULLY support their children. If you couldn't afford to have additional children, then you shouldn't have. PERIOD and save me and anyone else your bullsh*t excuses you're going to churn out.

I am a very busy and active mother which neither my ex-husband or current husband could handle ...being that both work in the state of Maryland (having 2 hours commutes to and from work) we live in Virginia (all of us). Both ex and current husband travel out of state quite a bit and being home is where I am needed.

Should've thought about that before having more children.

The BEST you could hope for is that he would be ordered to pay 1/2 of school costs.

Except if you take him to court, #1 they will impute an income on YOU. Have you ever worked? If so, they probably will impute your last income on you.

Secondly, if you raise his c/s amt and ask that he pay 1/2 of school, he probably would just stop paying for all of those "extras" which would likely end up costing you EVEN MORE.

And, in some states, they CAN and DO consider the CP's spouse's income. Not usually, but sometimes it happens so that could really mess your little plan up, too.

So you could end up getting really screwed (and personally I'd like to see that happen b/c you certainly are acting like a bitch to people who are trying to help you) by taking him to court. Think about it.

"No where in our custody aggreement does it state that I have to pay this."

Does it say anywhere that the father has to pay for it? If not, then it would appear that you unilaterally decided to place the child in private school. You are therefore responsible for the costs. If the father is not willing to pay for it, he will likely argue that this is the case.

"I don't have the funds to go back to court."

You don't work, so you have plenty of time to compose a motion and get a court date asking for help with the tuition. However since you've set the precident all these years of paying it without complaint to the court, it is unlikely that you will get a favorable ruling.

"Both ex and current husband travel out of state quite a bit"

I can only conclude from your nasty posts to the respected senior members here that perhaps this is because you are a nagging control freak and the only way these guys could stand to deal with you is on a limited basis from a distance.
