I would think that since mom doesn't live in town children are going to school in, the children could be kicked out of school and mom forced to pay the "tuition".

You know what Buckeye, I missed that. You are completely right-- I mean if the kids are in that school district under his address then they should be living with him. However, he won't say anything about that because it's best for the kids but technically they should be living with him if they are going to that school.

That's one of the issues. I do not want to stir the pot too much as, in the end I just want them in that school. That is far more important then the money. Thanks every one for your input.

They may not stir the pot but as a neighbor, I would call on you. Why should I have to pay high property taxes because of better schools and she gets to just deliver them to the better school.
You will be caught and YOU will be paying the bill. I have seen it happen lots around here. They caught one in the 12th grade - they got a bill for about $25,000 for "tuition".

Your right Buckeye. That's why I'd rather they be with me and still pay her. After all I am also paying the higher property taxes for the better district so at least my children should benefit from that.

What is wrong with all of you?? I am reading your responses and seeing a lot of assumptions and exaggerations being made. Let us not assume the ex-wife has no job or that she is single and then run with it! Let's not assume as stated in an above post that "he won't say anything about that" in regards to his view on the kids residing or not residing in the school district. How about asking "him" directly if it is such a concern of yours. I believe the essence of his initial question was, "is it wrong to think that the child support should be adjusted if the living arrangements of the children have changed?" I believe we would all agree that it is a big YES!! Obviously we all have diffent takes on how to approach it. I personally would hope that all involved would remember who/what is most important in all this. And that is the children. The optimum situation would be to have two parents that put their kids first, communicate well in regards to their well being, and present a unifed front when it comes to parenting them. P.S. Just think of all the money wasted on lawyers. Money that could be used for the children and their futures. Being hurt and angry with an ex-spouse can lead to knee jerk reactions that one day will be regretted.

Actually I believe the policy around here is that if you have a parent living in the school boundaries, you are safe to enroll a child in that school. Even if the custody is 50/50 or less. It is only if your using and extended relative or a friend do you actually get caught and fined. Even then you can fill out a form with the principal to get permission to attended the school.
Just a few questions tho so Im just basically wondering aloud. How far of a drive is it for the kids daily? Did you bring up the idea of the better school or did your ex? Why was it so far that they were staying with you all week but now not so far that she can just pick them up after school? Money aside, did she realize that a new school would cause a major custody switch? Have you asked for a reduction in child support in the past. Not judging you at all really - just wanted to clear some things up. :)
I wanted to add that my sons best friend goes to the same school as my son. His dad lives in our subdivision while his mom lives in the next town about 10 min away depending on traffic - they share 50/50 custody. So she picks him up on her weeks.

Why WOULDN'T child support be adjusted if the living arrangements of the children have changed? Maybe there were too many double negatives in that and you meant to say "NO" instead of "YES" at the end there...

Yeah, I got confused as well...
"What is wrong with all of you?? "
Dulce, welcome to the board. Quite the introductory post there, eh?
