My ex had sole temporary custody of our child prior to child starting school.
Ex enrolled him in a private school (in Ontario) as ex was/is a teacher at the school. Previously tuition was a taxable benefit. When child began school, the tuition was apparently $0.
The first two years of schooling were free due to a change in the tax laws (schooling fees is no longer a taxable benefit). However, the cost to attend school is now several thousands of dollars per year, paid by my ex.
It is written in the parenting plan that ex is to pay for 100% of the tuition. He now has several more children and we are now arbitrating with regards to my having to pay for half of this private school tuition.
I was wondering, what is the likely out come? Will I have to contribute to private school tuition, even though I had no say in the schooling and it was written in the parenting plan several years ago that ex would cover tuition costs? He is claiming a material change of circumstance (additional children, day care fees, etc). I am not claiming a material change of circumstance, even though I am now raising a second child on my own as a single parent.
Please advise. Thank you.
