Tuition?
Email from me to [ex-wife]
At court today I was given the impression you were interested in helping to pay for the girls’ tuition at [girls’ school]; I had no idea. How much would you be willing to contribute towards the debt?
Email from [ex-wife] to me
I’m not sure how you got that impression; neither I nor [attorney] said anything about me helping pay for [girls’ school] tuition.
Email from me to [ex-wife]
My mistake. Are you willing to help pay for [girls’ school] tuition?
Email from me to [ex-wife]
[Five days later…] Are you willing to help pay for [current school] tuition?
Email from [ex-wife] to me
I cannot give you a yes or no answer without knowing what you are agreeing to first. What have you worked out with the school? Have you checked out financial aid? According to my last email with [employee] she said you have not asked about financial aid.
As of right now, it looks as if the girls won’t be able to attend [girls’ school] next year. I am thinking about registering them at [public] Elementary just in case. I can’t wait until the summer to figure out what is going on with them in September. Please let me know your thoughts.

I have been speaking to [a different employee] about financial aid.
I think the girls should stay at [their school]. If the girls are unable to stay at [their school], I think they should definitely go to a different private school.
How much are you willing to help pay for tuition?
Email from [ex-wife] to me
If you can’t afford [current school] (or anything in Judge [K]’s orders) how do you expect to pay for another private school?
Again, I cannot make a decision on what I can and will pay for school without knowing what you are willing to commit to.
I think getting them registered at [local public school] would be a good idea. We need to figure out a plan real fast.
Email from me to [ex-wife]
Most of the other private schools in the state cost less than half (many less than a quarter) of [current school] tuition. Have you looked at other private schools? I have looked into a few.
