My question involves a child custody case from the State of: CA
I have an order that requires me to pay half of reasonable child care costs as required to work. My kids are in extracurricular activities and have been for a while. I have always contributed a portion, although much less than the total cost.
Recently, my ex got it into her head that all these years the extracurricular activities were taking the place of child care and I should have been paying half all along. My "half" would amount to over $10k. She also is expecting me to pay half going forward.
This is so frustrating. If she wanted extracurricular activities to count as child care, she should have brought that up years ago and we could have addressed it at one of my many hearings we've been to.
Since extracurricular activities are typically considered separate from child care, wouldn't that court have to explicitly order it that way? Does my ex really have a chance at retroactively classifying extracurricular activities as child care?
(My ex has a lot of flexibility in her work schedule. She typically chooses her schedule so they are at the extracurricular activity when she's at work and can pick them up after).
