There are no rules governing what expenses child support should be used to pay for, that is left to the discretion of the parent or guardian that the payments are made to. States set minimum standards that must be met by a supporting parent, usually a percentage of the person's income, and then assess the entire family situation before determining if additional amounts should be allotted for expenses such as medical care, education or child care, and any other costs associated with providing a reasonable lifestyle for the child in question. Often child support payments do not come near meeting half of the financial costs of rearing a child when one factors in all the expenses that are paid that the child benefits from directly or indirectly.
