Maintainance to end of childs education

Thank you for responding to the points that I had raised Fiona.
This issue seems to raise the hackles as there
are other threads of a similar vein.
Also the number of "views" bears out a high level of interest.
My personal view is that my relationship with
my children and their educational needs is
between me and the children. That is in the case
of further education.
If my wife wishes the ( at the time ) level of
child maintenance to be extended through further
education then I will speak to my solicitor
and agree to this if the monies go directly to
the children.
If they choose to pay some of it to their mother then that's fine. They may of course as young people do fritter it away LOL
I would have thought it was far more sensible
for me to pay for various things directly such
as fees,rent in digs etc.
As I said I will speak with my solicitor about
it.
My wife knows how I feel about my sense of responsibilty to the childrens education so
the chasing of extended child maintenance
for this "purpose" I find a little suspect.

Has it become apparent that we don't see eye to eye ?

You are right to question this - I posted the problem and it is now in the hands of my ex-wife and daughters solicitor - My ex-wife managed to loose the house (169,999) purchased for her after the divorce and the 2,000 month for 4 years and the 750 for children as well as holding down a teaching post. She has had to move back in with her father, I have now one of my children (the youngest) living with me (great to have him at last)He is 13 (she is refusing to accept my suggestion that she supports our 16 year old dauther, I support the 13 year old and the 21 year old daughter who has decided to go to University (in her second year and who has received full financial aid and does not have to pay university fees etc)I will support financially with mutual agreement as apposed to a court order for the next 3 years - I want to financially support her (as this is clearly all she wants) however I am not happy that I have been subjected to being taken to court if I do not declare my finances now!!!!
