Depends on your court agreement. Often the working parent is required to have the child on their medical plan.
Every state has child support guidelines. The guidelines take into consideration who provides medical insurance coverage. If one parent provides it they are generally given a credit in the child support formula. Uninsured medical costs are generally addressed in the separation agreement and are often shared.

Bullet Proof Your Child Support Order?
Child support orders can be the foundation of financial security for your child and the bedrock of peaceful communication between parents. Two often, however, they are entered into when emotions are running hard. The resulting order can be costly and inadequate. Whether you are hiring an attorney or doing the order yourself, every child support order should address four major financial aspects: (1) Child Support, (2) Daycare, (3) Medical and (4) Claiming of the child's federal tax exemption. CHILD SUPPORT The child support order should spell out the monthly amount, often called the transfer payment. It should state clearly when support begins and under what circumstances child support ends. Many orders state that support for the child will end when the child turns 18 or graduates from high school whichever occurs last. Most states have child support guidelines that will assist you in determining an equitable child support amount. The federal website for Administration of Children and Families (http://www.acf.hhs.gov/programs/cse/extinf.html) will direct you to your state's guidelines. DAY CARE If your child requires day care, factor that amount into your child support order. Most states will honor day care orders until the child turns 12. Check with your state for specific details. Set a date specific for day care to end. MEDICAL Federal law now requires all child support orders to address medical. Each order should specific who will pay for the child's medical insurance. Orders usually require a parent to provide medical insurance for the child if the parent's employer offers it. In addition, the requirement to provide medical may be limited by a premium amount. For instance, a parent may not be required to enroll his/her child into employer-offered medical if the child's premium would exceed $50 per month or 25% of the monthly child support obligation. CLAIMING THE CHILD ON FEDERAL INCOME TAX Make it clear in the child support order which parent can claim the child in even numbered years and which parent claims the child in odd numbered years. This will eliminate many headaches at tax time. Whether this is your first child support order or a modification of a current order, taking the time to thoroughly address these four financial considerations will save your time, money and heartache in the future.
Can you force your mother to show proof of how child support payments were used and sue her if she misused the support?
