What is the name of your state? iowa
I have a question about a rule on the child support guideline rules for Iowa.
In Rule 9.12 Medical Support order it states:
In addition, the court shall enter an order for medical support as required by statute.
"Uncovered medical expenses" means all medical expenses for the child not paid by insurance. The custodial parent shall pay the first $250 per year per child of uncovered medical expenses up to a maximum of $500 per year for all children. Uncovered medical expenses 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. "Medical expenses" shall include, but not be limited to, cost for reasonably necessary medical, orthodontia, dental treatment, physical therapy, eye care, including eye glasses or contact lenses, mental health treatment, substance abuse treatment, presription drugs, and any other uncovered medical expense. Uncovered medical expenses are not to be deducted in arriving at net income.
My ex-wife says that this does not pertain to us. Will someone please tell me if this does pertain to the way that the child support guidelines are and if she is to pay the first $250 of uncovered medical expenses?
Thank you!!
