The formula of your family for the child has an entry for the payment of health media. In our case the father is providing health insurance to kids. The number that puts him inside,? All you pay? Or just the difference between the payment s? only against payment of a family?

    He puts in only the amount that he pays for the child. So if he pays $100 a month and there are 4 people on the insurance the prorated amount for that one child is $25 for two kids $50. I have been through it too many times and I took paralegal classes.

    In most states and divorce decrees, the father is required to pay for the health insurance premium and the mother will be liable for any deductible or co-payments.

    If the mother has better health benefits, the formula could be turned around, but it has to be agreed upon prior to the divorce, otherwise, the parties have to go back to Court.

    support is 17 percent per child from gross. The after the FICA tax.

    other cost and expense is normally 50 percent but it is depending on the deal and the agreement in court.

    If he carrying his child health insurance.

    for example. $25.00 for single
    $35.00 for single plus one or family plan.

    The 50 percent that he have to pay is $10/2 = $5.00

    Look in his court order to see what percentage he have to pay.
