What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Maryland
My ex and I have an out of court agreement on child support that is based on what the state would direct me to pay. The state child support worksheet states that my income constitutes 89% of the income between us, so I pay her a healthy amount of money religiously every month. Our son is applying for college and I'd like her to pay almost half of the college applications, but her arguement is that she should only pay 11% of those expenses per the child support worksheet.
I feel I am already compensating her for her low income by paying a lot of child support. Given all the child support she gets, I feel she would be double dipping by only paying 11% of expenses. I feel the state would direct her to pay 50% of the application fees, am I correct? Or would the state rule that she is legally obligated to only pay 11% even though she barely works?
