What is the name of your state?iowa
Just wanted to know if this is a guideline that is used in the state of Iowa for all cases or can be used? My ex-wife is taking me to court on monday for child support modification and thought that I could bring this up if the guidelines can be used. This is what it said:
In a child support guidelines website for Iowa it says:
Medical support order. In addition, the court shall enter an order for medical support as required by statute.(my husband pays for all insurance and 50% of all medical expenses that are not covered by insurance).
Uncovered medical expenses" means all medical expenses for the child not paid by insurance. The custodial parent shall pay for the first $250 per year per child of uncovered medical expenses up to a maximum of $500 per year for all children. (they have one together). Uncovered medical espenses in excess of $250 per child or a maximum of $500 per year for all children shall be paid by the parents in proportion to their respective net incomes.
So does that mean that the ex should be paying for the first $250 up to $500 of unpaid medical bills by insurance? Is that an Iowa law or what does this mean?
Just thought that I would ask because she nickel and dimes me to death and I always pay 50% of everything that is not covered by my insurance and then some! Thanks.
