[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Re: college, I think all I'll probably require is that we both continue to put $X into their college savings accounts per month.  That is fair.  [/quote]

Yes that is fair! My MIL ended up paying for DH's younger brother to go to college all on her own and she ended up super broke. And for those of you saying you would fight it, would you at least split it?[/quote]

I'm curious as to why PPs would fight it, too? Cost of college rising so rapidly that it will be hard to project the cost? Don't want to be made out to be the bad guy if you can't afford wherever your kid wants to go? Too much opportunity for power struggles again down the road (say, with XW pushing the kids towards expensive options that she knows will be problematic)? Too unwilling to take on a large down the road financial obligation when you don't know where you'll be in how ever many years? Because the large expense will put you in hot water when you have to pay it out during your next marriage and you don't want to deal with your new wife's feelings about the matter?

Something else that I'm not understanding?
