I've Come Full Circle 24

[kat727]

Well I may make you happier about my "progress" still. Ex wanted copies of the kids "college" fund statements. He wants to start contributing himself in the next 6 mths to a year. However he wants to combine the funds and watch what I do with the funds.

I am the Custodian on the accounts. They aren't 529 plans but just custdial accounts that I have set up with college being the intended purpose. I told him that I have spent alot of time untangeling our names lately and I don't want to mix them up again. I felt it was better for him to start his own for them and then he can make decisions on those funds.

For a few minutes there I felt like he was trying to control what I do. I guess he subtley had been doing that for some time and of course controlling the course our marital ship took. He didn't start these accounts and he didn't try to cut corners here and there to try to fund them, though yes, it was "our" money. I never discussed even starting them with him, since he never took interest in such things.(Red flag right there folks!on my part as well as his).
