Do I have to pay for my daughter to attend a private school?
Asked on Nov 27th, 2017 on Family Law - Connecticut
More details to this question:
We have been divorces since 2012. The state of Connecticut has jurisdiction. I live in Ohio and she lives in Connecticut with our two daughters. The school district they reside is not good. The educational quality is sub-par. My ex-wife wants to send my daughter to a private school for $15k per year and we split the cost. My ex-wife has mentioned since before the divorce she would move to avoid the school system. Obviously she has not. Do I have to pay for half?
You can contest the expense and perhaps you will wind up arguning in court once one of you makes a post judgment motion to enforce the settlement agreement or for contempt, etc. but if you want what is best for your daughter, my opinion is there are no public schools in connecticut as good as the private schools.
