Does a non-custodial parent have to pay for private school?

Answer 1

If it is not in your agreement then no. Private school is a luxury nor mandatory and a public school is able to offer a free education. If you have agreed to it prior in family court it might bring issues and concerns. With the economy in the state it is in no judge will say yes u have to, if so appeal it if not in your agreement.

Answer 2

Those are things that are normally hammered out in custody/child support agreements. If you have your paperwork, look it over and see if school fees are mentioned in either document. If not, it's something you'll have to fight over in court.

Answer 3

You need to review the divorce decree, separation agreement and the child support order to determine the responsibilities of the non custodial parent. Private school is a luxury and unless you were ordered to or agreed to pay then you don't have to unless you have an extremely high income or the child has special needs and the court rules that you must pay.

Answer 4

It depends on the details of your divorce decree, but in general that would fall under the expenses covered in the child support order, unless there is a specific provision for tutoring in the divorce decree or other court order.
