After divorce, husband and wife still have the obligation to support their children, and the relationship between children and parents is not eliminated by divorce. Educational expenses are a kind of expenses for raising children, including tuition and books. According to judicial practice, the educational expenses for receiving high school education and below should be borne, but the extra school selection fees paid by private schools and aristocratic schools with higher fees, or the sponsorship fees caused by insufficient examination results, do not belong to maintenance fees. If the child goes to school without the full consent of both parents, the parents who disagree may not pay the fee, but the parents who agree should pay the fee. Maintenance is limited to necessities, and children can refuse to pay for computers and mobile phones, travel abroad, commercial insurance and other expenses without legal basis.
