Child support covers everything except for extracurricular activities, medical expenses and child care. Every decree will have separate provisions for extracurricular activities, medical bills and child care costs. With primary physical custody, child support is going to cover things like school lunch and school clothes. It’s designed to help cover the cost of housing, food, and other material necessities.
With joint physical custody, the courts will require a joint effort in paying for the child’s extracurricular activities and medical expenses, or any other expenses not covered by child support.
