Re: Extra Curricular activity
If you stipulated (agreed) to the terms of the divorce decree (rather than having a trial in which the judge imposed the requirement over your objection), you are pretty much stuck with having to do whatever it was that you agreed to do.
As a general rule, if you are paying the "guideline" amount of child support, the items you mentioned are already included in the amount you are paying.
Extra curricular activities, sports, camp, clothing, etc., is exactly with the guideline amount of support is intended to cover. These are not extraordinary expense for which any special provision needs to be made.
But, again, if you agreed to it, you are bound to abide by your own agreement.
