[quote]Yes, go with the guideline for support. Have you filled out an Income and Expense Sheet. Don't lie, but make sure you put in good numbers, the kids get to be more and more expensive as they grow up..trust me! Daycare expenses will be how much longer. And make sure that the daycare expense is a separate issue...NOT PART OF CHILD SUPPORT. Because once daycare is done other expenses will start to incur, such as sports, school activities, camps, GAS driving them all over, driver's training..all sorts of stuff that change as they get older.

As far as custody, think ahead when they enter school, winter and spring breaks, three day weekends, birthdays, holidays..switching every other year or splitting the days seems to work. Be cooperative but don't give anything away.
By the way, how many children and how old? [/quote]

She most definitely wants childcare added onto child support. This way it can be automatically garnished from his wages, just like child support.

The extracurricular activities that you mentioned need to be addressed separately and are completely separate from childcare costs and child support.

My child support is higher because the chilcare costs are added on to it. Once they are gone, the child support will go down by the amount that my ex is paying for childcare.
