If such expenses are not included in the original child support order the parent contributing the extras has no legal obligation to pay. The terms of the original or amended support order are the only ones that are LEGALLY binding. The responsibility of both parents is to support their child or children financially, emotionally and be involved in their lives in a positive way, w/o having to be "forced" into it.

Life is expensive. Do the math of the expenses the other parent has just to provide shelter, food and whatnot and you will find that helping with the extras will provide your child with opportunities that they would not have otherwise. Also, school expenses are getting higher all the time. Alternatively, you could pay the school or other service directly.

Child support for illegal children?

Child support for illegal children can be difficult. A court order is required to enforce child support payments, and this depends on the parent being a legal immigrant with a legal job to collect from. If a illegal child is born of a US citizen or naturalization, the child is no longer considered illegal.
