[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am just so shocked by the responses here. This must be full of second wives and ex husbands who are resentful of CS payments. Because all of the UMC people I know in DC are paying full freight for their kids to go to the college of their choosing and many are making sacrifices to do it as well. All this advice you are giving, what if it was your kid? You would damn well want OP's ex to pay. I am just so disgusted at the people who act like a custodial parent shouldn't get CS and that CS actually covers everything. In many cases, it does not! [/quote]

Mom wants child support and college.  You get one or the other, not both.  CS isn't supposed to cover everything.  It is supposed to cover the NCP portion in the CP's home.  The CP is also supposed to provide for the child.  NCP also has to maintain a home and room for the child during their time together.  OP is choosing a very expensive college, which Dad may or may not agree with.  Both parents cannot afford it.[/quote]
