In California, a child
Submitted by elizabethcarlsen on
In California, a child support order usually requires the parents to share the costs of reasonable health-care expenses. If a parent has health insurance through work, that is usually the health insurance the court prefers be provided for the child. Therefore, if one parent is paying for the child’s health insurance through their paycheck, the court will likely consider this when determining the amount of child support to award. Similar to California, in Oregon child support includes providing health insurance coverage.
