What are “add-on” payments?
In addition to the amount dictated by the child support guideline formula, certain costs may require supplementary support payments known as “add-ons.” Increased support may be ordered for: child care costs associated with employment or job training of the supported parent, uninsured health care costs, and costs related to child’s education or special needs. Support may be decreased for travel expenses incurred by the supporting parent when visiting the child.
