Question

Is daycare expense considered part of child support? Do I have to pay 25% of my income as child support and to pay daycare expenses on top of that?

Answer

Generally you do. This may vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction and the payment of daycare/pre-school expenses may be determined to be 50/50 or some other percentage based upon income and liabilities of the parties. Sorry for the bad news.
