Question posted in the Divorce Law category relating to Western Cape

Hi
My daughter stayed with her mother since our divorce in 98 during wich time i paid maintenance.Since last year june she stays with me and i have put her in a private school wich costs 2700 a month but with exellent results.She will still be in school for 2 and a half years since she failed gr9 twice.
My ex wife left her job in the meantime since staying permanantly with her boyfriend and it seems like she is not trying very hard to get a job.What is my position since i feel that even 400 rand per month can contribute to at least some clothing,My daugter is 18.
I also pay twice a year for half of her plane ticket to go visit her mom.

please advise

thank you
