              | Family Law CasesThomas F. Ellis, III JD PA Noncustodial parent appealed from judgment of absolute divorce and determination on rehearing entered in the Circuit Court, Anne Arundel County, Eugene M. Lerner, J., to extent he was required to pay 65 percent of children’s educational expenses at private religious school. The Court of Special Appeals, Cathell, J., held that: (1) on issue of first impression, term “particular educational needs” in statute governing payment for private schooling is not limited to children requiring special education or having special ability and requires consideration of numerous factors, including whether child was attending school prior to divorce, (2) court did not abuse its discretion in determining that children had particular educational needs that supported their attendance of private school or in determining that noncustodial parent would be apportioned 65 percent of cost.

Bowen, Jr., J., granted husband’s motion to amend or revise judgment, and deleted provisions from previous decree. Wife appealed.
