Their baby was born in Sept and they are happily househunting. He finally left 4/03.
Medical co-pays, counseling, medications, glasses, etc., are also to be split 50/50 and not included in child support..
I'm sure you can always come up with your own rules if you want, but my attorney has said the above is what will apply to me.. Unless it will benefit me, I'm going to insist on whatever is "standard."
Good luck..
I also make sure he buys certain clothing items even though he only has them 4 days a month. He purchases all shoes and all pajamas, and pays for haircuts. I pay for everything else.

Please keep in mind he makes 90K a year and I am a middle-aged SAHM trying to re-enter the job market. Yeah, there's an income disparity, I'd say. And he laughs all the way to the bank about it.

Per our temporary order, we share joint custody. 50/50 physical and legal. And for the last month, i have had DS16 full time becuase he refuses to go to his mom's.
Per the temporary order, I pay for the following: I pay just over $1100/month CS/SS for three kids. (Oldest is 18 and legally does not need to be included, but it’s not like he ceased to exist at 18, so he’s included in the CS formula.) her cell phone her car insurance her car payment health insurance premiums and all medical and dental expenses not covered by insurance (including counseling for the kids and her as well) orthodontics for DS16 All tuition expenses, school lunches, and school supplies Piano lessons for DS11 After school care for DS11 Her attorney’s fee
Not included, but I pay (or paid) anyway: School pictures All sports expenses including $325 for DS16 summer baseball, and uniform on top of that. DS18’s lifeguard certificate Insurance for kids’ vehicles Kids’ cell phones Our 2012 income tax bill ($1100) All haircuts and most of the clothes (she’s bought a few birthday gifts on her own) DS18’s college testing and enrollment
My STBXWW has a full time job as a public school teacher. Any time the kids ask her for money, she tells them she has none and to ask me. I don’t feel guilty about only paying the minimum in CS because I pay for everything else, which, I’m sure will include most if not all college expense.
Also, it's just easier to pay for the extracurriculars myself than have to listen to a sob story about how she's broke, or give her an avenue to lash out at me because she's not liking where she's landing.
