Legal Question in Family Law in California
Who is respondible for court ordred costs?
If a minor child gets into trouble with the law and
the court orders such things like drug tests and
drug classes where there is a cost, are both the custodial and non custodial parents equally responsible for payment of these? Are both parents responsible for payment to
the county for care and support also or only the custodial parent?

Re: Who is respondible for court ordred costs?
Check your stipulated agreement or the court order. Usually, these types of expenses are shared between the parents.
