Legal Question in Family Law in New York

When do i start paying for 'add on' expenses? My ex-wife and I are legally divorced but we still live in the same house (until it is sold) with our 2 children. I do not pay child support (according to my agreement) until the house is sold, and until then the expenses are shared 'status-quo'. I pay the mortgage, taxes, insurance and my working ex-wife pays for food, utilities and household expenses. Throughout the marriage she payed for the children's extracurriculars. She is now trying to collect my share of the pro-rated expenses of extracurriculars, even though I am not required to pay child support at this time. Am I resposible for those expenses now or when the house is sold and we begin child support payments? It is only stated in our agreement that expenses remain 'status- quo' til the sale.
