My husband and I live in Missouri. His kids live with their mother in Illinois. Both kids attend public school. The bio-mom got married and moved the kids into a new school district. One attends school in the new district and the older one is still going to the old school with her mother paying out-of-district tuition. She expects us to help pay this also. We refuse to pay tuition for public school because she moved. The divorce papers clearly state that "the children will attend school in the district that the mother resides". The bio-mom is taking us to court over the matter. We, of course, have to pay an attorney in dealing with this. Our attorney says that she has "no leg to stand on" with this matter and we won't be forced to pay tuition. We would also like to recoup the attorney fees from her to teach her a lesson that she can't sue us just to get more money from us. My husband pays 28% in child support and also pays 1/2 the medical, school fees, and extracurricular bills. He rarely has any money left over to do anything with his kids when he sees them. Your opinion would be greatly appreciated.
