"Dilemma ("double proposition") is a problem offering at least two solutions or possibilities, of which none are practically acceptable."

I have one with the Ms. Adversary, and looking for advice. I have sent off to my L, so will probably wait for his reply, but want to run it by you all for thoughts..

Background: d9 goes to private school, where Ms. Adversary actually works as well, and this year she had free tuition because of the hours that she worked.

I received request to sign up for automated tuition this coming year from the school, so asked Ms. Adversary what was up with that.

Her Response:
"I have to drop my afternoon hours next year so there will be a payment, not sure how much yet. Most if it is covered by my job. I am planning on attending college next fall and need time for classes."

My tentative response that I am running by L:
"Ms. Adversary

There are two ways this can be handled.
1- As the custodial parent, it is your responsibility to sign up for these payments, to be made from the support that you already receive from me.
2- I will sign up for the payments, and will then seek to reduce my support amount to you by the payment amount for d9's tuition.

Let me know which way you want to proceed."

I don't know the legality behind this. I do not like that she is reducing her hours to go to college, and I know she expects me to increase support for this while she does, so who knows what the court will look at that as..

Anyone got ideas?

I am trying not to let this ruin my day, as it is a ways in the future, and I am trying to stay in the present...
