CS modification

09/26/05 10:32 AM

I live in NYS. My ex and I had a verbal agreement to split our children's education 50/50. It was also put into our custody agreement, which the presiding judge did however cross out the agreement, stating it was an issue for CS and not custody. In any event, he now informs me that he will only pay 1/2 the tuition when he can afford it. Also, we had a verbal agreement that all school supply costs will be split 50/50 also. He did give me 1/2 of what I asked so far, but turns around and tells me that the agreement was only for 2 years (after admitting in an email today, no less, that he DID in fact give me 1/2 of the supply money this year)--more than 4 years after our sons started school. My CS now is based on 14,000 a year and he claims that he can no longer afford any more support, or only when he is making money (he is in construction). I did a rough estimate of what he pays out in CS for all his children (3), his mortgage, car insurance, tuition and it equals way more than the 14,000 he claims he makes. He stated that I should get a part time job to support the kids (I recently took a 6,000 pay cut) and if I take him to court to get more $$, he will ask to have it reduced. What are the chances this will happen? Also, he says that if public school is good enough for his other child, it is good enough for our boys. Any idea how the courts will decide this? Will I still be able to get money for their schooling?
