Child Support After Divorce
Either parent may be ordered to provide a just and proper amount of child support, which could include health care, dental care, child care, and the education of the child. A Child Support Formula is used as a guideline and is presumed to be correct unless it is shown to be unjust or inappropriate under the circumstances in a particular case.
(MCL 552.519)
In addition, the Judgment must include a provision that requires one or both of the parents to provide health care coverage, if such coverage is available at a reasonable cost as a benefit of employment.
All payments of child support are ordered to be made through the Michigan Friend of the Court Bureau. Each parent will be required to keep the Michigan Friend of the Court Bureau informed of their address, sources of income, and health insurance coverage.
(MCL 552.15, 552.16, 552.452, and 552.519)
