[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I moved to an area (rented) with better schools post divorce. All the private school talk stopped with that.[/quote]

Nothing wrong with that. People on DCUM act like the only reason why private school is an issue with divorced parents is one parent trying to stick it to the other. Married couples disagree about private school as well.
Two things to remember:
[b]Do what is in the best interest of the child. [/b]Actually research the schools. Consult neutral parties who have a professional knowledge of the child. Going to private or public school is rarely a permanent decision. Many families move in and out as children's needs change.

It could be in the kid's best interest to go to private school but still be economically impossible after a divorce.[/quote]

You'd be surprised.

When it's truly economically impossible, usually it wasn't really economically possible in the first place. If it is merely tight after the divorce, financial aid can help close the gap. But more often, one former spouse isn't willing to give up any frills in their own lifestyle to accommodate the expense. We watched a family recently where all three kids were forced to give up music lessons and horseback riding so that one parent could buy a luxury condo and luxury car to make him dateable after divorce.
