I'd like to give you some advice to make Divorce easier for your children during the school season.

Parents often argue about what types of back to school items are included in child support and the kids often feel the anxiety and get caught in the middle. Most importantly, never discussed these things in front of the children or put the burden on the kids to discuss these items with the parents.

Both parents owe it to their children to aim to do what is right as often as possible. You don't have to like the other person any longer, but you should still show some respect after all, it was your decision to have a child with that person.

Child support usually pays for the basic needs of the child, food, clothing, and shelter. That being said, if your child needs lunch money and you happen to be the parent paying for child support or worse, you're the one receiving support and did not budget accordingly, still give your child some money.

Don't let them starve in school and then blame it on the other parent. Remember, keep in mind the bigger picture and never let your emotions get the better of you.

Be reasonable. If you do end up paying for things like school lunches, backpacks, school supplies, et cetera, and you feel it should be a part of the support, well then keep a journal and keep receipts about what you've paid.

You may need this proof of payment if you absolutely though don't need the money. Remember the money you spend fighting over these issues in court will far away the value of the items over which you're fighting.

For the wellbeing of your child and for your peace of mind, don't fight over the little things, let it all go. Keep in mind that the more often than not try to do the right thing. C

lothing is another major issue.
Usually parents split the costs of this or they set a limit to be shared. School and sport uniforms can also be shared. Additionally, and typically extracurricular activities are based upon agreement between the parents.

Usually these items are shared costs and are not a part of the child support. These costs are above and beyond support.

Overall though the approach is to be reasonable and think of your child first. And the same goes for transportation.

Simply because you don't have parenting time on a night that your child has activities does not mean you shouldn't show up or if mutually agreed upon help with the transportation, try to help the other party out. Be the better person, be the person you want that other person to be.

Remember, you are affecting your children more than you know, and all they care about is seeing the parents at events without any drama. If you can't keep yourself in check, then you have absolutely no business going to that event.

If you take a reasonable approach, you will have a much calmer life moving forward and your children will be happier and well adjusted
