Child Related Expenses that You Might Have To Pay.
What other expenses might a court add to the basic child support obligation?
Once the net income of both parties is calculated and the basic support obligation has been determined, the court may add to that obligation for certain expenses. For example, if you have work related day care costs, the court will add that to the basic support award. In addition, the cost of adding your child to your health insurance will also be included. The court may also approve private education costs, special needs of disabled or gifted children and transportation expenses for visitation with a parent who may live in another state.
Some children may also have predictable or recurring unreimbursed medical costs. The court will add these costs into the support figure to make sure that the medical needs of the child are attended to without a financial struggle for the custodial parent. Remember that these additional expenses are within the court’s discretion to award and it may be in your best interest to talk to a lawyer to get some advice on the best way to present your case to a Judge.
