so.... she's able to pay the private tuition out of the support you're going to be giving her? First, I'd wait and not respond right away til you've had a chance to think on this. But the thing is- whatever arrangement you decide on, it has to work for both you and her AND DD. If you can't even afford the daycare for private, it doesn't work for you, and it means that AS A FAMILY, you cannot afford private school. You may have 2 households, but where DD is concerned, it has to work for the family, not just for STBXW. If you can't even afford the daycare part, she will have to help pay for after care at public school, too.

Wait, though, and see what other input you get, give this some thought.


When the men on the chessboard
Get up and tell you where to go;
And you've just had some kind of mushroom
And your mind is moving slow;
Go ask Alice...
I think she'll know.
