Section 7 expenses are shared proportionally between parents based on their respective incomes

Section 7 expenses are special or extraordinary expenses that both parents must share based on their income levels. The amount each parent contributes is calculated using their proportional income ratio, ensuring a fair distribution of these additional child-related costs.

• The higher-earning parent typically pays a larger percentage
• Contributions are calculated using each parent’s annual gross income
• The court may adjust proportions based on special circumstances
• Both parents must agree on expenses before sharing costs
