Sorry for the wall of text but i wanted to put it out there to gain perspective.
History:
My ex and I split when my son was 1 yrs old. I had a decent income and my ex was also doing pretty well and increasing all the time. When we ere together we had lived in a bad neighbor hood and had decided together that my parents would be paid until a daycare was available and would have my son go to a better daycare and do the private or semi private school.
Then we split: I found a daycare and returned to work. my son then at the age to go to nursery was enrolled in a semi private nursery school and my parents provided transportation and care for the mornings.
My ex agreed to this and agreed to support this.
BUT after my sonw as enrolled and I asked to be reimbursed the cost for his portion of the tuition...he then made every excuse to not pay.
I was out of pocket for 2700.00 and my parents went unpaid.
This went to case conference and I was reimbursed. I agreed to try the french immerssion for kindergarten if the daycare came through.
the daycare came through and i then enrolled in public french immersion.
Almost immediately it becase clear that this was not the place for us.
reagardless after kindergarten i enrolled him at another private school. With my ex's knoweldge and understanding and he said that he would start helping out with the costs when my son was in grade 2.
This never happened and I have nothing in writing because i took his word for it. Outside of my emails asking for his payment and being upset again over money and his non payment of daycare, section 7 etc... This happened around the time he met his current wife.
He responded to me " how good of an executive would i be if i put it in writing" ? I agree and I was stupid. Regardless i have been paying this cost on my own. anytime its mentioned in court: his lawyer is insulting to me and tells me that I am not private school material or that my son doesnt need lessons because its not like he will go to the olympics and get a medal. Regardless, that our family children (my childs cousins) all are also in private schools.
I have some legal correspndence and some drafts that refer to this udnerstanding of the semi private school and trying out the french immersion public.
Last year in negotiations for an agreement (after 8yrs) I gave in and said I would cover the cost of private school. It was just before trial and I wanted to avoid and just get an agreement settled up. Thinking this would just end it and get me an agreement and see the last of him and lawyers.
No agreement was signed but that was agreed. and my ex then just dropped out and no response no signature nothing.
so again we have a case conference becuase we have been ignored and left in limbo again. no garnishment no nothing.
My son is now 9 and will be entering grade 5 in the fall.
I purchased a home clsoe to a new school that is semi private and goes until grade 12.
I want again to open this issue becuase my finances are now tight. the total cost is 5400 until grade12. (4140 for grade 5.)
we can split the cost!?
Do I have any chance of this? Anything I should take into consideration?
Or just suck it up?
Anyone know or experience anything in regards to private school?
