Legal Question in Family Law in Indiana

Usually the order specifies categories so as to avoid having the non-custodial parent argue that dental, vision and other such expenses re not covered as medical. The commentary to the Child Support Guidelines suggests that " As a practical matter, it may be wise to spell out with specificity in the order what uninsured expenses are covered and a schedule for the periodic payment of these expenses. For example, a chronic long‑term condition might necessitate weekly payments of the uninsured expense. The order may include any reasonable medical, dental, hospital, pharmaceutical and psychological expenses deemed necessary for the health care of the child(ren). If it is intended that such things as aspirin, vitamins and band‑aids be covered, the order should specifically state that such non‑prescription health care items are covered."

Taken as a whole, he is wrong morally as well as legally. What kind of parent would refuse to pay for necessary care for his children?
