Legal Question in Family Law in Virginia

Expenses not covered by child support

Driver's Ed classes, Choir field trips, Choir outfits and new passports cost - should the non-custodial share 1/2 of these expenses? Both of us are expected to pay about $760/mo for two daughters. I always pay for anything extra which runs into hundreds of dollars yearly.

Thanks for help
