To add a little confusion, however, remember what s. 7(1.1) says about what the requesting spouse can "reasonably cover". Where the parents have lots of money, and the resulting basic monthly child support is high, it’s unlikely that many extracurricular activities and educational expenses (those set out in s. 7(1)(d) and (e) of the Guidelines), would be considered ''extraordinary'' since a high basic child support amount would likely "reasonably cover" these costs. | |||
