Re: Child Support and Insurance
The obligor is supposed to provide monetary child support as a percentage of net income plus medical insurance for the child. The cost of the medical insurance is on top of the monetary child support, not included within it. The medical insurance is considered child support, too, which means that child support remedies are available to enforce that requirement.
