I am now legally divorced; it was a long, difficult, and expensive process. I continue to pay CS for two adult children attending university. They're great kids who spend equal time at both homes.
In general do the courts support the notion that divorced parents should be covering the cost of extracurricular activities for adult children while attending university?
My Ex is demanding we split the cost of an extracurricular activity for our 18 year old. We covered these as Section 7 costs when they were under 18 but it is my view that our children should take responsibility for the cost of their extracurricular activities as young adults. Because my Ex and I come from different backgrounds I have suggested we go with a 1/3 shared cost between us and our 18 year old for the cost of her activity. I had thought this to be fair and reasonable approach representing a balance between our different parenting philosophies and backgrounds. She is arguing / demanding that I am obligated to split the cost with her.
