An expense for education or extracurricular activities is extraordinary only if:
it is more than you can reasonably pay based on your income and the amount of child support you receive; or
it is not more than you can reasonably pay, but it is extraordinary when you take into account:
your income and the amount of child support you receive;
the nature and number of educational programs and extracurricular activities; the overall cost of the educational programs and activities;
any special needs and talents of the child; and
any other similar factors that are considered relevant.
My lawyer is telling me all extracurricular is split proportionate and all I see on this site is that is not the case. I have given my lawyer case law stating small fees are not extraordinary. My ex is on medical leave but I still pay full table amount she is claiming $30 reg fees that I don't feel are right to be claiming. We're heading to court. I need some advice. I have offered a proposal on a budget to avoid the grey areas of what is a legitimate extraordinary extracurricular expense. She won't budge.
