Who is responsible for paying the children’s medical expenses that are not covered by insurance?
The Court will generally make some provision for health care coverage – by requiring either one or both parents to get insurance coverage if it is available at reasonable cost. In addition to the basic child support amount, you and the non-custodial parent are each responsible for paying a fair share of your children’s uninsured medical expenses. Normally, these medical expenses will be shared in proportion to the parents’ relative incomes.
