[quote]Time to start scheduling summer activities. And that means it is also time for KGrow and his ex to stoke up the power struggle over reimbursements for extracurriculars.

Our divorce agreement isn't particularly specific about who pays for extracurriculars. We punted during our original negotiations because we couldn't resolve this. The agreement says extracurriculars are to be paid in proportion to income. It also says that a portion of extracurriculars are presumed to be covered by child support money.

My position: We each pay for extracurriculars that happen on our own time. Cost of shared extracurriculars should be split it in proportion to that time (typically 50-50). My child support payments provide the in-proportion-to-income piece for both types.

Her position: We each pay for extracurriculars that happen on our own time (child support payments cover the in-proportion-to-income piece here). Cost of shared extracurriculars should be split it in proportion to income.

I guess I have to resign myself to expecting lower reimbursemnt than I request and dole out the same for her. The amount of money is not huge. It is all a bunch of of absurdity. Often it gets a bit messy as we jockey to have the other to write the check and thus get an opportunity to stiff them on the reimbursement. [/quote]

The only part of the court order that is vague is the amount that is considered to be part of child support.

The reimbursement part is crystal clear. It's not 50/50, it's in proportion to your incomes. Meaning the one who makes more pays more.

The problem is the vagueness of what is included in child support.
