How do I figure out how much the child(ren)’s health
insurance costs?
The child support order will include information about the
child(ren)’s health insurance coverage and the cost to cover just the
child(ren). If the children are able to receive free medical services through
the Indian Health Service or the military, the order will note it. If health
insurance is available to one or both parents for free or at a reasonable cost,
the child support order will state which parent must get health insurance. In
general, the court considers the cost of health insurance to be reasonable if
it is 5% or less than the adjusted annual income of the parent who may be
required to purchase the insurance. Usually the order will split the cost of
health insurance between the parents, although the court may order unequal
payments if there is a good reason.
