As I've mentioned in the past, my son, who is 19, has had some issues with finishing high school, but is only a couple of credits away from completion.
Last fall my ex and I enrolled him in an alternative school. I was getting an uneasy feeling when I've talked to him about school recently, somethings just didn't make sense.
So I called the guidance counsellor. And he hasn't been enrolled since January, he was dropped for failing to attend (two classes a week).
I have been paying full support for him, even though he isn't technically a ful time student. My ex lost her job, and I wanted to make sure he stayed in. Yes, maybe I'm a softy.
If this is a permanent state, and he doesn't return to school, if I ask to have CS reduced, will my ex be able to ask for more support based on that? The SA states a change in material circumstances can be a cause for review, but it is pretty vague.
If I go back to the mysupportcalculator and input with two kids instead of three the support reduces a little but not a lot. I'm not living in luxury, I have a 2 bedroom basement apartment. I'd happily have him with me, but he would prefer to stay with his siblings, and they prefer to be with mom.
My foremost concern is to keep him in school, but he is of age to make that decision, and clearly thats been an issue.
