[quote]I appreciate the time you took to write me back. I called him today and asked him about this situation and he just said that he is working on the divorce and that he can't tell me why he is asking for the information but he needs it. He actually offered to pay the entire tuition if I agree to just sign the divorce papers and not fight the divorce...I am the one that asked him to get the divorce he promised me four years ago because I am not in a financial position to do it myself and legal aid will only help recent abuse victims and not me in the state I am in. I am curious how he is financially because we lived very modestly and without much...he says he is working a temporary job but he will pay for this (which over the course of the lessons could top fifteen thousand or more)...I know something is up now...he cleaned out our bank account when he left and has NEVER done more than pay the support and sometimes he is behind in that. I don't believe in alien abductions so I am thinking I still don't see the big picture. Thanks for the answers though. I will continue to research this. [/quote]

If he refuses to tell you the reason, simply tell him that he is more than welcome to contact the school to get the tuition information.

But you are not providing him with a receipt without a court order. You can ask him in court why he wants it and the judge will compel him to answer.

It could be that his place of employment may give him money for the tuition. Which is good for him. But if it goes over his portion, he needs to give you the money that goes over what he said.

If he is agreeable to paying the entire tuition, get that in writing and if the other terms are agreeable to you (and definitely take anything settlement he extends to an attorney for review) and if you have gone through discovery(if it has been over a year since he provided his income information, he needs to provide more current info. I would ask for 6 months back, this way you can see if he's deliberately inflated some deductions), then go ahead and sign off on it. But only after the attorney has reviewed it and recent info has been provided.
