Paying for summer camps and extracurriculars can get messy for divorcing parents
When couples with children separate, sharing child-related expenses can be messy, especially for big-ticket items like summer camps and extracurricular activities. Family law stipulates that these expenses be shared between co-parents in proportion to their incomes, but this can cause friction and may not always work in practice.
