Does going to school to obtain a higher paying career fall under “work-related” child care expenses?
The parenting plan states the percentage each parent is required to pay for work-related child care expenses. I need to know what exactly falls under “work-related”.

This question is best answered by an attorney in your area who can interpret the case law and your agreement. But regardless of whether or not it is included in the interpretation here, I might consider bringing a motion before the court to modify the plan if you are considering going back to school which could only make life for you - and ultimately your ex - better. Better education means more money for you and less for him to pay. You could also ask your ex to voluntarily agree to the modification. He may indeed surprise you. But if he does not and will not then seek help with asking the court to do it for you. Good luck to you.
