Private School Tuition, Summer Camp, and Other Needs

If your children go to Catholic school in Bucks County, for example, how is that figured out with support?  As many can guess, it can be expensive and generally can't be afforded by one party.  Your Bucks County divorce attorney should fight for your ability to share these expenses.   

The support schedule does not take into consideration expenditures for private school tuition or other needs of a child which are not specifically addressed by the guidelines.  If the Bucks County Court of Common Pleas determines that one or more such needs are reasonable, the expense thereof shall be allocated between the parties in proportion to their net incomes.  The obligors share may be added to his or her basic support obligation.  

What is reasonable comes down to the divorce judge.  The general rule is that a disruption in schooling or camp that was previously provided during the marriage, absent any overwhelming issue, will continue on in the separation/divorce.
