Guideline Child Support - ''Extra'' Expenses

My ex-wife is currently receiving guideline child support payments from me even though I have close to 50% physical custody of the kids. She continues to ask me to provide further money to help with clothing, educational, sports, expenses beyond my standard support payment. What are the rules in this regard? Shouldn't full child support cover/assist in all of these expenses? Doesn't she simply need to budget better for such expenses?
