Legal Question in Family Law in Louisiana
Child Care Expenses
I have been told that my ex is responsible for 1/2 of the chid care expenses (summer camps, aftercare), on top of the child support he pays. Do I need to request this separately, or will that be part of the final arrangments normally?

Whoever told you that is mistaken. The child support is all he has to pay. Daycare should have been added into the calculation of the child support. Extracurricular activities cannot be charged to the other parent.

The child care expenses should be added to the child support worksheet and factored in when child support is set. That way your child support will be increased for his share of these expenses.
