Re: Health insurance
In NY a parent is responsible for child support AND health care costs and expenses for their child until age 21. If the parent has health insurance, then the child is usually covered until age 18.
Health coverage under a health insurance after age 18, is subject to the insurance policy terms and may not be required.
GOOD LUCK,
