Legal Question in Family Law in Indiana
The custodial parent(mom) is required to pay the first 6% of all uninsured healthcare expenses for the child. The non-custodial(dad) pays the child support regularly, but is not required to pay uninsured healthcare until after that 6% is paid by mom. Mom is choosing to get 11 yr. old son braces now, and wants dad to pay his portion because she states she is paying her 6% upfront. Dentsl is not clear in the order. Is dad responsible to pay the braces bill? The support order is Indiana.

Do you really want to go into court and tell the judge that you are unwilling to contribute to your child's welfare? The courts generally consider dental care to be health related even if not specified in the order.
