Re: Child Care cost responsibility during visitation
If the father avails himself of daycare, he must pay for it, unless the divorce decree provides otherwise.
Re: Child Care cost responsibility during visitation
The father shall pay the child support as specified in the final judgment and decree for divorce. If the decree does not permit such an alteration in payment, then the father must continue to pay the same monthly payments to the mother during the summer vacation periods.
