[quote=Anonymous]You both sound like reasonable co-parents. (What a refreshing change from what we usually hear about on DCUM.) Why don't you talk to ExW. Something along the lines of... "I realize when we made the agreement about college expenses years ago, when we couldn't know exactly where kids were going and what the cost might be. Now that we have a child entering college and two more along the way, I want to make sure that your contribution to the college $$ doesn't leave you in a precarious position personally or with regards to helping pay for the other two children. Is it better to talk in terms of a set $$ contribution per child rather than a percentage? What are your thoughts?" I realize I don't know all the details of your relationship with ExW, but as you describe it above, it seems like there could be a way for you to have a respectful, non-offensive conversation about this.
