What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Ohio
My husband and I live in Ohio, he has shared parenting of his two daughters. Their mom is residential parent for school purposes only. We have them every Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday. He pays almost $600 a month in child support (he makes $55,000 and his ex makes $35,000 a year): however in his divorce agreement from 2013 he agreed to pay private school tuition for his girls through 8th grade. They are now in 4th and 6th grade and private school tuition is now more than $430 a month. We pay this along with child support, insurance, and any clothes or items they need for our house. Their mom lives in a different school district than us but she works in the same school district we live. The public schools in this district are excellent, in fact, my 3 kids go there. outside of the cost for tuition, we would really like his girls to switch to public school. We don't agree with some of the religious beliefs they are learning and we know they will have to go to public high school so we would like to make the transition sooner rather than later so it may be easier for them. The private school they go to is small but their is no specific purpose they go there....they aren't not gifted or special education or consideration or anything of that nature. Their mother will not agree to this swig and states we must keep paying the tuition like the court papers dictate. What are our options if any? Will a judge take this into consideration or would we likely be wasting our money going to court? Additionally, what is the likelyhood the judge would change visitation? We aren't crazy about the kids switching house basically every night and we don't believe it's healthy for them?

There is no "we" in this matter. "We" don't pay child support. "We" don't matter when it comes to their schooling. "We" don't matter when it comes to religious beliefs. "We" won't be wasting any money going to court. The beliefs that "we" hold with regard to the visitation schedule don't matter.
