Here is the background. Been divorced approx 6yrs. Have 2 children. Divorce was all agreed to and signed off with joint shared custody(50/50) and parents sharing equally in costs for the kids. No spousal or child support pmts. Verbal agreement with eachother that I would pay sports and dance costs at 100% and other costs were at a 60/40 split. Kids live at each home 1 week on 1 week off but spend bit more time at my place as younger son 14 eats breakfeast everyday including days he is at his moms at our place and gets driven to school on those days by myself.
Move forward 6yrs and as kids get older there are some other costs coming into play and I have asked whether she will contribute. Cell phones for kids, drivers ed classes and insurance and University is coming for the oldest in a year. I have paid daughters phone bill at 100% for the last yr as a courtesy. I get a response that she will try and pay for some school trips at 30% of the cost but will not contribute to cell, university and other costs as she cant afford to and these are not necessities. Then she says she can go to court and ask for new child support as our wages have changed over the yrs.
Question is can she go to court and will a judge look at this since for 6yrs it has worked and now this agruement?
