In an action for child support in Los Angeles County or Orange County, what will the court require a party to pay as and for additional child support?
Family Code section 4062(a) provides that a court "shall" order the following costs to be paid as additional child support:
1. Child care costs related either to employment or to reasonably necessary education or training for employment skills.
2. Reasonable uninsured health care costs for the children. Except as provided in Family Code section 4063(e), there is a rebuttable presumption that amounts actually paid for the children's uninsured health care needs are reasonable.
From an Orange County divorce lawyer's perspective, child support encompasses relevant child care related costs and reasonable uninsured health care costs.
