Can I get my ex to pay for private school?

Q I just discovered that a guide at my children s middle school was charged with sexually abusing a child in another state about years ago I am unwilling to put my children through that possibility and appealed my ex to agree to pay for them to attend private school He refuses to contribute He inherited a lot of money after our divorce but still pays the bare minimum for our kids while his new family live a much different standard flying first class driving expensive cars and living in a huge home I know he has the money to pay for private school for them and I cannot believe he would danger their safety by making them stay in general school Do you think a judge would order him to pay for private school A In order to get a judge to order him to pay for private school you would need to show a material change in circumstances Arguably his large inheritance qualifies especially if he continues to pay the base child assistance established before his inheritance Presumably his inheritance is invested in selected fashion which provides additional income to him thus a review of the child aid order is appropriate I do not know if the additional child patronage would be enough to cover the cost of private school however nor am I convinced a judge would deem your concerns about one particular middle school tutor to be sufficient to now require your ex to pay for private school But you might be able to get your ex to voluntarily cover private school in lieu of your seeking higher child aid and higher contributions to other things for your children If you cannot get him to agree to private school there are other methods to approach the guide issue You can check sex offender registries to determine if the tutor is listed If not listed it may be that the charges did not stick It could be a technicality but it could also be the tutor was not guilty Rather than pull your children out of school disrupting their lives you should get more information about the instructor to determine if your concerns are warranted and figure out other solutions to safeguard them For example take up your concerns with the school directly Then of lesson file for a modification to increase child endorsement to proper levels based on your ex s changed financial circumstances Email questions to whickey brickjones com
