Hello,
I gather from reading that it is common to have a child responsible for 1/3 of their post secondary expenses. In my separation agreement I am entirely responsible for the remaining 2/3.
Can I choose to pay more of my child's education? They are in co-op and have income, but I am well off and would like her to save her money to give her a leg up in her transition to work life, where, due to her chosen profession, she is very likely going to need to have a car.
I've suggested she keep 80% of what she earns and contribute 20% to her education while I cover everything else.
I am concerned that my ex will argue that I must pay only 2/3 in order to receive higher spousal support, which is re-calculated annually.
Your experiences and options are appreciated
