When there is shared (50 / 50) custody of children of a divorce and one spouse is paying child support, what expenses does support cover?
Current agreement spells out only medical expenses and daycare / school expenses as 50% each.

If you have a 50/50 timeshare, the formula assumes that each parent will be paying one half the the child(ren)'s necessary expenses, like food and clothing as well as school expenses. However, there is no legal mechanism to account for those expenses. Good Luck, Pat McCrary
