    Default Calculation of Child Support and Health Insurance

    My question involves child support in the State of: KY

    My Husband goes to court tomorrow for modification of child support and mom and attorney are trying to calculate health insurance in. Question 1: it states in their court ordered agreement signed in may that mom would carry health insurance (because husband is in the army and has a great plan for a reasonable price) and that only if it becomes unavailable to her should we have to purchase health insurance for her. Can they still calculate this into child support if the agreement says that she will carry it?

    If she is able to charge, next question: the army offers two policies. Sponsor and sponsor plus family. So, my stepdaughter is not adding any extra premium by being on the plan because they have another child and another on the way, but her attorney is stating that her portion is the premium divided by 4 (soon to be 5). If she isn't adding any extra to the plan, can they charge that amount for her portion?

    Just a few questions before he heads into court. Thank you

    That particular question is a bit of a grey area. Its actually quite common for a family health insurance premiums to be divided by the number of people it covers in order to determine a child or children's share. Its also quite common for no credit to be given for health insurance if the child doesn't make a difference in the cost of the insurance. So, it could really go either way.

    Thank you, I didn't know if there was a set answer or if that's up to the judge. Basically just seeing if it's worth bringing up that point as an argument.
    What about the agreement portion?

    The agreement that she will carry it is not relevant as to whether or not its included in the child support calculation. All that is, is an agreement as to who will make sure that the children are covered.
