Are school lunches included in child support payments?
My daughter's father and I have a court order, which we came up with on our own, for child support. It was not according to the California scales. We decided on an amount ourselves and agreed that anything beyond would be split 50/50 upon receipts 45 days later. Daycare, medical, dental and any other health, educational expenses... Can anyone help me?
So many different answers... I guess there is no real solid answer. Thanks everyone.

if you want to make a separate allowance for lunches that is up to the both of you, however a judge would not make that separation, child support means the support of the child for the money that is given it does not make the distinction for separate payments

The two of you came up with your own agreement so it would be up to the two of you to decide.
The normal feeding of a child under a court ordered CS agreement wouldn't have the parent with custody getting and extra check for 1/2 the cost of school lunches.

How do you calculate what is "beyond" what is paid? Child support is not for expenses that directly affect the child, but expenses overall for raising the child. It includes school lunches, clothing, school supplies, and other items that go directly to the child, and it also includes items that indirectly affects the child: Gas price to go to the store for shopping, rent/mortgage, electric, heat, water/sewage, food for the family, and so on. How do you calculate these items?

It may be in included with other expenses. It all depends on how you and your ex wants to split it. Call the school and get prices. Then split half ;-)

NO,it just goes to help for daycare, groceries, and so forth to help the custodial parent raise their children.Also it goes to help pay for medical insurance and also vision care
