Ask A Lawyer: Do I Owe Half for my Daughter's Extracurricular Trip?

Posted by pmcmahon in Richard Coffee , extracurricular activities , Cordell Cordell, PC , Child Support , Ask A Lawyer

Question:

My child support paperwork states that I am to pay 50 percent of all agreed educational expenses. My ex signed my daughter up for an extracurricular trip for school and then informed me my half was $1100.00.

At this time my ex has been playing games and not allowing me to see my daughter per our paperwork. I told her that I agreed the trip was a good opportunity but I was unwilling to pay for half because of my daughter's current attitude about seeing me. I was not going to reward it with a trip. I did however offer to assist with $500.00.

Now my ex states that her lawyer said I owe half because I agreed to the trip. Can they force me to pay half?
