What about medical expenses and health insurance for the
child?
In addition to child support orders, the court is required
to order that one or both parents provide for the health care needs of the
child. Either parent or both may be required to pay any amounts not covered by
insurance.
The expected cost of ordinary and reasonable medical
and dental expenses are already built in to the child support guidelines. The
court will make a separate order with regard to who must pay the costs of
extraordinary medical and dental expenses. The court may order one or both of
the parents to pay the extraordinary medical and dental expenses, using a
formula established by the court (in relation to the incomes of the parents).
