Understanding Child Support and Extracurricular Costs
So you pay a lot of the cost of your child’s extracurriculars so you get credit for that right in your child support. Hi I’m Tulsa family attorney Clint Hastings. I practice here in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and I focus on father’s rights. The answer is no, you do not get credit for it against your child support.
Now, in some orders, there will be requirements to contribute a percentage share to extracurriculars. This may include agreed-upon extracurriculars with a specified percentage amount based on the combined income of the parties. However, this contribution does not offset your basic child support obligations.
Seeking Alternatives for Contribution
If you wish to have your contributions to extracurricular activities count towards your child support, you may attempt to negotiate such an agreement with the other party. It is important to note that a judge will typically not fashion the order in this manner without mutual agreement between both parties.
