The applicant mother brought a motion for temporary orders, including an order to enroll the parties' two children in their current private school for the upcoming year and requiring the respondent father to pay his proportionate share of the tuition.
The father opposed, arguing the children should attend public school due to long-term affordability concerns.
The court found the father failed to demonstrate compelling circumstances to justify disrupting the children's education pending a final decision.
The court held the tuition was a necessary and reasonable section 7 extraordinary expense and ordered the father to pay 75% of the cost based on the parties' 2024 incomes, subject to future reapportionment.
