Extraordinary Education Expenses in Child Support

An expense for primary or secondary school education is considered "extraordinary" if it surpasses what the party requesting the contribution can reasonably afford, based on their income and the table amount of support received. However, even if the party can afford it, the court may still deem the expense as extraordinary. This depends on multiple factors such as the nature and number of the educational program and extracurricular activities, special needs and talents of the child, and the overall cost of the program and activities.
