I've seen a few threads on this topic, but I have a different spin.
We have joint custody with 50/50 access. My income is $50k and my ex has $0 income. I currently pay cs and ss totalling $1400/month, and I'm responsible for 85% of s.7 expenses.
1. s.7 "extra-ordinary" expenses are supposed to be based on what the spouse can reasonably afford. If her income is "0", does that mean every little thing (swimming, school trips/fees, pizza lunch, etc) becomes extra-ordinary and not covered by cs?
2. Ex wants to enroll the kids in daycare during her weeks so she can attend school. I am always at home and available to watch the kids 100% of the time. Can she put them in daycare and expect me to pay 85% of it when I'm available for free? She is worried the extra time with me will go against her in court, and daycare is something the kids have never done before.
