    Wow time flies. It only feels like yesterday that the children were so much younger.

    The other parent is trying to leverage the compromise you made to settle matters in the past. But, they are going too far with the compromise now. Nor should you compromise that deeply.

    One consideration would be to offer for the other parent to pay the lesser of the full ride for the child's university or the support.

    My idea being:

    Tuition + residence + meal plan (or equivalent) = X

    vs.

    Their portion of the above based on the % difference + CS = Y

    If X < Y then he does X. If Y < X then he does Y.

    Ultimately, the child gets the education they deserve. The child is residing at your residence and support should be paid while they are residing there but, it is a challenge to deal with someone who is not reasonable on figuring out when CS should be paid or not be paid. The impact to you though is having to support the child while they are not away at school. But, that may balance out in your favor if the cost of conflict outweighs the financial impact to you. (Only you will know that value.)

    Now, this depends on how much % you are paying. Balance the numbers accordingly. You don't want to walk away from the support the child deserves.

    Good Luck!
