Extraordinary Expenses in calculating Child Support

Me and my Ex have a mediated agreement in which it states that I will pay for additional costs including school activities, extracurricular activities, car insurance among other things. She has primary custody where I visit the children primarily on the weekends. Would these be considered Extraordinary Expenses when using the North Carolina Child Support Calculator?

No, these are not extraordinary expenses. Per the NC Child Support Guidelines, extraordinary expenses are expenses related to special or private schooling that meet a child’s particular education needs and/or expenses related to transporting the child(ren) between each parent’s residence.
