QUESTION
Can an ex-wife require additional child support payment in a legal and physical joint custody?
Asked on Mar 19th, 2015 on Child Custody - Maryland
More details to this question:
She voluntarily quit two jobs and kept one. She is now claiming that she needs additional assistance because I do not contribute to the food expenses of the children incurred during school hours during the weeks she has them. In addition, she is claiming she wants to be refunded for half of the haircuts and clothes she purchases. I do purchase and provide these items for my children already.

No she cannot , especially since she "involuntarily impoverished" herself- a term of art in child support arguments. Child support is based on income, and time spent with the children, i.e. sole or shared physical custody. She has to learn to use the support paid- for the children's expenses without seeking additional money from you.
