Offers being volleyed. Ex said he's willing to agree to sole custody, with a number of restrictions (side note- why the fuck can't his lawyer explain what sole custody means to him???)
In his offer he has requested consent for any school that costs over $1k a year....this would mean that I would have to go back and get his consent to keep her at her montessori this year and next.
I want to keep her at the montessori for kindergarten, as she's going through her allergy OIT treatment because of the smaller class sizes + her teachers that watch her like hawks (reduces chances of severe reactions). But I get that she could be going to public school...so I'm thinking- no need for consent from him, but I agree that I would need consent if I expected him to contribute his proportionate share?
Anyone know if private schools are section 7? If they are- wouldn't the same rule apply as other section 7s? I would need his consent to claim to ask for his proportionate share of the expense. I'm okay with that. What I'm not okay with is asking for his consent to enroll her in the first place.
If I have sole custody- I get that it's not fair for me to unilaterally decide on that expense...so I was thinking of just saying that if I decide on private school- I cover tuition completely. On the other hand- it seems stupid to just say he doesn't have to pay at all.
We agreed prior to separation that if we could afford it- we would like her to attend private/all girls school. If we were together- this would be the path we'd be taking for her education. But I know what someone is going to say "circumstances change, etc etc etc...."
Suggestions?
