[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ExW and I have been divorced for years and always agreed to this particular split for college. (Me paying 70 and her paying 30)  However, my DD is picking a college that I introduced her to, drove her to visit and really wanted her to attend and I am feeling like maybe I should just pay for it.  ExW is responsible and will keep up her end of the deal but I think she was hoping DD would go to a state school that was cheaper to begin with and offered her some merit aid.  ExW really proved me wrong when she accepted DD's decision graciously (I thought she might try and push a certain 2nd state option) and I am feeling guilty.  I was thinking that instead of a certain percentage maybe ask her to pay a flat amount (that would be cheaper then the percentage)?  However I realize whatever deal I cut now I should honor for our next two children as well.  Anyone have any ideas?  Should I just leave it be?  [/quote]

I would honestly just leave it as is, and perhaps when it comes to extras and peripherals, you cover those.  However, if you know this school will be a hardship for her, discuss paying more than you agreed.  And why do you need to do the same for the next kids?  Just say you will revisit based on the schools they pick.[/quote]
