Child Support Insurance Dispute

Summary

In Ohio, child support is calculated based on both parents incomes. If both parents have health insurance for the child, the court usually considers the insurance that provides the most benefits. You may be required to maintain your insurance if it offers meaningful benefits and also pay a portion of out-of-pocket costs for your childrens medical expenses. Consult a local attorney or your county child support enforcement agency for personalized advice.
