Asked in Child Support for Florida

Q: Is health insurance premiums for children divided by the number of children that are on the policy when factoring child?

Ex; insurance cost 300 per mth under family plan which it's the same cost whether you have 2 children's or 3. If there are 3 children and only 2 belong to 1 father and the other is over 18 and is by another father. Is the premiums divided into 3 and the father of the 2 only has to pay for his children or do both fathers have to pay the full cost of the premiums because it's a family plan when you calcium child support

A: You first have to determine the cost for the children only. Once you have that number the person paying the premium should not be receiving credit for more than they are paying. One possible method is to divide the children's portion of the premium by 3 so that one father pays 2/3 and the other pays 1/3.
