Hello all -- I need some advice.
Recently, my ex-wife relocated and enrolled my daughter into a Catholic School. My son was enrolled into a Public School.
I was not consulted in the decision to enroll my daughter into a Catholic School and I vehemently disagree with this decision. My daughter does not believe in God and I do not believe in teaching religion in the school system.
Regardless, my ex-wife is now asking me to share the cost of the outfits for Catholic School which total $300. I am not a cheap Dad, and I know when to pick and choose my battles, but two questions come immediately to mind.
1. Isn't the cost of clothing included in my child support payments?
2. Why should I be on the hook to pay half the cost of school outfits when I disagree with the decision to send her to Catholic School, and I was not consulted in the first place.
Obviously, if I wanted my daughter to attend Catholic School I would pay my share of this expense. But I wasn't consulted and don't agree with the decision. I have always preferred my children to attend Public School and make decisions about religion later in life.
Comments and feedback would be greatly appreciated.
