The parent could argue that if the family was intact, a big expense like a class trip to Europe would have been a family discussion and would have been seen as too expensive. Therefore, this parent would not agree to the trip post-divorce. In this case, the parent would argue that they had no input into the affordability of the trip and shouldn't be expected to pay for it.

Thanks everyone... currently we are not talking about big expensive trips. His son is in grade 1 and they go on little trips throughout the year. The last one cost $25...she wanted him to split... yes $12.50 can be considered pocket change, depending on the situation you are in, but I the biggest factor is she basically nickles and dimes him. In reality he would only have to pay $8.25 as he only pays 1/3 of the costs.
Heck, when I wanted to go on school trips I was expected to take part in all the fundrasing events, save my own money and any money my parents gave me was to be paid back over the summer holidays. Maybe back then I felt it was unfair, but I am glad that's the way my parents were. I was never handed anything, I was always expected to earn it. I don't think kids in divorce should be any different.
