That is dependent on state law. In most states, the cost of the policy is worked into the child support calculations, with each parent carrying a percentage. In other states, the obligor parent carries the whole cost, regardless of how much the obligee parent earns. But, all child support is Rebuttable, and as each parent should carry a percentage of the financial responsibility for the child, an argument can be presented for the obligee parent to carry a portion of the cost. This is particularly important if the obligor parent is a low income earner, is collecting unemployment, or is disable. See links

Do divorcees have to pay child support until 26 under obamacare?

Obamacare does not discuss child support. I suppose that it's possible that non-custodial parents might be required to pay health insurance until age 26; however, child support, child custody and related issues such as health insurance are determined by the States.


Does father have to pay child support if child is on his insurance?

United KingdomIn England, insurance is not associated with how much maintainance is required for the child. Our healthcare is covered by the goverment so private insurance is not required.United StatesYes. Each state has child support guidelines. Generally, health insurance and who provides it is figured into the formula that provides the amount the non-custodial parent must pay in child support. They would generally get a credit toward the amount they must pay but providing health insurance would not cancel out child support altogether. Check your state guidelines.

You pay child support you pay auto insurance for your child as well can you count that towards the child support?

Not if they are addressed seperately in the order for support or divorce decree. Even if you are not ordered to pay for the auto insurance, you cannot reduce the amount that you pay to the custodial parent without their consent or an order from the court. If they refuse to allow the deduction the only thing you can do is stop paying for the auto insurance. However, it the agreement to pay auto insurance was one that you made separate from the child support, you are then dealing with a contract situation because you made a contract, even if it was only verbally, to pay for the insurance and before cancelling that contract you need to give proper notice of cancellation.

All states have child support guidelines that are based on several factors that include who provides the medical insurance. You should inquire at the court with jurisdiction, or perform an internet search for the guidelines for your state, to determine if your child support amount is up to date according to the guidelines.


Does child support have to be made if the child is in boarding school and the custodial parent is not paying for the school?

Who is paying for the school? Is it a scholarship or a relative? As long as it is not the person required to pay child support it really doesn't matter. The child still needs clothes, uniforms, health insurance, all sorts of things. Sorry, you don't get out of paying child support based on where the kid goes to school.

Does my ex husband still have to pay child support but now quit his job?

It depends on the state you live in but most states use the same calculation for child support. The calculation figures in the percent of time each parent has physical custody of the child, a comparison of each parents wages and any extra costs for the child(ren) such as daycare and health insurance. For example: If you and the father exercise physical custody the same amount of time (50/50) and your salary is greater than his then you would more than likely be paying him child support but if you pay for their health insurance and daycare then those would be deducted accordingly and like wise for him.
