Gainesville, GA asked in Child Support and Family Law for Georgia

Q: Do I have to pay for half of the extracurricular activities in the State of Georgia along with Child Support?

Hi, I am the non-custodial parent in the state of Georgia with visitation every other weekend. From a mediation back in 2019 I pay child support monthly. It also states "parties shall each pay one-half of the child extracurricular activities".

If the typed up order by the mediator says that, am I obligated to pay the extra for extracurricular on top of the monthly child support?

A: You are bound by the terms of the order. Therefore, if the order says that you pay for half of extracurricular activities then that is what it means.
