Q: Do I have to pay daycare because the custodial parent is attending school?
Son lives in CO with mother. The child support agreement was registered in CA due to our divorce occurring there. Now, the decree is registered in CO. Last year, I registered the child support agreement with OK. I pay $700 a month for my son. My current wife and I just had a baby in December and my son's mother submitted a request to modify child support. Paperwork I received has new payment projected at $872. My gross monthly income was incorrect, they was nothing that indicated I pay monthly medical/dental insurance premium. It does not reflect that I have a child in my home. Additionally, child care cost were added because my son's mother attends school. I am not concerned about lowering what I currently pay, but I am not wanting to pad her pocket to pay for her cars either.
A: In Oklahoma, child care expense that is either work or school related is divided between the parents per the terms of the support order.
