What is Medical Support in Texas?
Medical support for a child is also required (in
addition to child support). If the
parent who is paying child support can provide medical coverage for the child
through the parent’s health insurance at a reasonable cost (not to exceed 9% of
annual gross income), the parent must include the child on the policy. If the parent cannot get coverage through an
employer, then the parent receiving the child support would provide coverage if
available through his or her employer.
The parent paying child support would still be responsible for the cost
of the child’s insurance and would reimburse the other parent for that child’s
cost. If neither parent has health
insurance through an employer, then the court would order the parent paying the
child support to pay an amount (cash support) in addition to child support to
help cover the child's medical care.
