What is included in child support?

Questioner

Good day, I would like to know whether school fees/books fall within child support. Father and mother agreed on this together at the time without the intervention of a judge or anything, the amount was also determined together and this is also paid neatly every month by us, but now they want us to transfer 800 euros for school fees for our son, we cannot do this now, we want to make a contribution but can spare 200 euros.

Lawyer

Because the arrangement was never formally recorded, this can indeed lead to some discussion. It is useful to do this again and draw up a parenting plan. If you had formally established child support, then school/book money would remain the responsibility of the person who takes care of the child on a daily basis and is entitled to support.
