[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] When my daughter was in seventh grade, I enrolled her at a small private school because her zoned public school was huge, full of drug problems, and I could tell that academically, she was falling through the cracks. A year later I enrolled my other daughter. My kids are now in ninth and sixth grade.

When I first enrolled my oldest, my ex was deployed in the military. The girls' school never came up in conversation until last year when he asked my oldest what school she went to by text, and I told her to lie and say she was still in public. I don't want him to know that my kids go to private because he has been withholding child support (he claims that the state has been holding the support, but I could get the money quicker if he gave one big payment a month and not divide it into 2-3 payments a month). If he finds out that my daughters go to private school, he will wonder how I can afford a pricey private school. My kids get financial aid and the tuition that is not covered by aid is paid for by one of my relatives. I don't want my ex to be nosy about my financials. On top of that, the school is religious. I don't know how he would react to that. I am the custodial parent; I am in complete control over my children's education according to our divorce papers, but I don't want this to become an issue. My daughters don't want to switch schools. Even if he doesn't care about the fact that it is a religious school, he might continue to withhold money if he finds out my kids attend private school. Should I continue to lie to my ex? When is the appropriate time to confess this, when my oldest graduates?[/quote]

What kind of parent instructs their child to lie to the other parent?!  He is going to find out much sooner than you think and I hope you reap what you sow!  [/quote]
