Legal Question in Family Law in Ohio

In my divorce decree, it states in the Child Support agreement that the "uncovered Healthcare expenses be split." My question is does that include co-pays or is that NOT considered "uncovered?"

Also, I pay child support. Are things like educational tuition, school supplies, clothing, shoes and all other types of these needs considered/facored into my portion of "Child Support" obligation?

The co-pays should be part of the agreement since "uncovered" means not covered by insurance.

Does the divorce decree mention what is to be included in the child support? If not, I would argue that it needs to be. Are you having problems with the parent of your children regarding this issue?
