Legal Question in Family Law in Utah
I live in Utah and I am responsible for paying child support, which I pay faithfully. I am also responsible for 1/2 of medical bills. My ex is now asking for me to pay half of the costs for my daughter to be involved in cheerleading camp etc. I do not think my decree states that I am responsible for extracarricular activities. Do I have to pay for half of this and any other thing similar in the future?

Unless your Decree specifically states that you are to share in the payment of these sorts of extra curricular activities, you are not required to do so. That's what child support is for.
