? re: Subtracting $$$ from child support

I told my good friend, who just divorced an attorney (UGH!) that I would ask here ...
Her X keeps deducting $ from child support checks, for "expenses".


I don't think he can unless it's agreed expenses. Otheriwse couldn't he just decide to take the kids to Disneyland and not only deduct, but SEND her a bill for the remaining amount? "Yeah! Little Billy NEEDED that $200 gold plated Mickey statue. Pay up, woman!"
I think she should contact her attorney. It's expensive, but in the long run will save her a lot.
It may depend on the court order. My court order states that STBX pays for sports & activities. It also states that he pays 1/2 of the uninsured and unreimbursed medical expenses.
The attorney is probably doing this just to see if he can get away w/it. My STBX tries to get away w/every single little thing he can, and I always have to "remind" him what the court order states.
Good luck to your friend.
BTW, I haven't been to these boards for awhile. The pictures of you and your daughter are adorable!
