Legal Question in Family Law in Iowa

Child support from my understanding is suppose to be for the well being of the child. My concern is being taken of advantage of and paying double for things like school registration fees and extra curricular activities, etc when the other parent ask me to pay for things or pay half. What is child support suppose to cover in 50/50 shared physical care joint custody (in Iowa)? What type of things can I legally say "No, that is what child support is for" when the other parent ask for additional cash besides child support.
