Can my ex make me pay for a private school for our child?
In some cases, yes. Although courts are generally reluctant to place the financial burden
for private schooling on the non-custodial parent, it's not unheard of by any means. If your child has
special medical or educational needs then it's more likely that a judge would allow the cost
of private schooling to be added to the support obligation.
Most courts are also reluctant to force a non-custodial parent to bear the costs
of a religiously-oriented school, possibly since this would amount to judicial (and by
extension, State) "approval" of a particular religion. Again, this isn't unheard of.
