Q: Does after school care count as "daycare" when determining reevaluation of child support?
The child support was determined when the child was in daycare daily. Now the child is in school full time but occasionally goes to gymnastics for after care.
A: If the after school care is needed because the parent is working, searching for work, or attending school, then the costs are included in determining the presumed amount of child support under Oregon law. Depending on the county in which the child resides, there is a maximum amount of childcare expenses that may be claimed.
A: As I understand the question, it was asked with respect to Florida, not Oregon. But, nevertheless, the previous response seems to be accurate under the law of either state (other than the part about a maximum claimable amount).
