My daughter’s mother and I are going through an entire overhaul of our self made agreement. We have been doing this for the last six years. I need some advice on day care cost. For the last five six years we have been splitting the day care cost 50 -50. Our daughter is now in grade one. My current wife and I are in a position to be able to get her to school and pick her up after school without the day care services.
The Bio mom needs to use the day care services so she can get to work and back. Our current child visitation schedule is a 40 – 60 split. My feeling at the moment is that if I don’t use the service on my days, I do need to pay for the day care service at all. If she needs to use the service she should pay for it on her days.
What do you think? Am I being greedy? I have been paying expensive day care for the last six years, and was looking forward to the financial break of my daughter going to school for a full day. I am willing to make some lifestyle changes so I can go and pick her up after work.
There are no court orders in place. We have made most our decisions based on what is best for our daughter. But this issues is a real sticking point in our negotiations.
Thanks for your input. It is much appreciated.
