"The law does not specify what child support is to cover. It is presumed that the custodial parent is providing food, clothing, and shelter for the minor children and that these expenses are what support goes towards. Any extra-curricular expenses can be shared between the parties upon their agreement, however there is no legal requirement that this happen, unless there is a specific court order that states such."
