Since the need for child care is based not only on the age of the child and whether they may be left alone according to the laws of your state, but also the particular needs of that child and the reason for child care (possibly the custodial parent works overnight) it seems likely that expenses would be covered as long as legitimate proof of care being provided can be shown.
The one who would be responsible for the child during that time which would be the non custodial parent.
On what?
In American legalese, a noncustodial parent is the non-resident parent who has not been granted care of the child(ren).
As long as the NCP - and CP for that matter - abides by the court order, and provides phone access, then the other parent doesn't need the address of every place the child will be visiting. The permanent residence, however, needs to be known.
No, the child goes into the care of custodial parents relatives. A motion for emergency change of custody is required. see my profile.
Absolutely not. This is dangerous and irresponsible. If it continues, you will want to return to court to restrict or discontinue the NCP's visitation rights.
Receipts of from the business, or the tax registration number for an individual, plus receipts.
Unless specifically expressed in a court order, while in the custody/possession of the NCP, they can make the choice for child care, provided appropriate precautions are met for care and safety. This generally applies during long term or extended visitations.
The money is intended to help the custodial parent defray the costs of raising the child and providing a home so it is given to the parent. Child support can be used to help with rent, mortgage, college expenses, insurance, utilities, food, phone, internet, computers, medical care, clothing, education expenses, recreation expenses, after school program expenses, school supplies, haircuts, shoes, holiday gifts for the child, babysitters, spending money for the child, vacations, etc.
You can enter child care expenses on your taxes by filling out Form 2441 and attaching it to your Form 1040. This form allows you to claim the Child and Dependent Care Credit for qualifying expenses related to child care.
In very basic terms the noncustodial parent is only required to pay child support and for the child's needs when in their care so no legally does not need to pay half of anything else the custodial parent wants for their child but morally does your child need braces because of medical reasons (as apposed to cosmetic reasons)? Can the other parent not afford them by themselves? This is your decision unless the custodial parent went through their lawyers to see if they could get a court order to get you to pay but I dont think that would happen as that costs a lot of money in itself.
Yes, child care expenses can be tax deductible under certain conditions.
