Parent on the hook for extracurricular activity expenses.

Settlement agreements in NJ divorce and family law cases are given great deference and as affirmed in a recent decision as reported in the NJ Law Journal, litigants will be held to the terms of their agreements (http://www.njlawjournal.com/id=1202646121795?kw=Fencer%27s%20Father%20Can%27t%20Parry%20His%20Way%20Out%20of%20Extracurricular%20Activity%20Costs&et=editorial&bu=New%20Jersey%20Law%20Journal&cn=20140311&src=EMC-Email&pt=Daily%20News%20Alert)  This case deals with child support and extracurricular activities for a child. There has been a long standing proposition in NJ law that children are entitled to benefit from the economic success of their parents.  As a parent of means, Mr. Bassinder was required to provide support for his share of the costs of his son’s activities.
