Legal Question in Family Law in California

I would consider any court ordered counseling to be shared equally. The mental health would be something the court could order to be shared. I would not consider it a reasonable medical expense such as going to the doctor for a medical issue that arises. It does not mean that the other party should not pay for it however. The costs of mental health are usually bore equally by the parties, and is often ordered in child custody proceedings. You would need to argue to the judge that it is important that the child see therapy for his mental health.

For self represented individuals you can consult with the family law facilitator self help center at your local court house.

As always please consult a local attorney prior to taking legal action. Good luck. Also please check out my Santa Clara County Family Lawyer blog.
