Medical Support

Refer to your child support order(s) that is/was in effect when the bills were incurred and paid to find the percentages you both owe.  Add up all of your receipts and subtract the Ordinary Medical Expense cost you are responsible to pay first, then that remaining amount is multiplied by the other party’s percentage and that total is owed to you.  This total is used on page 3

Pages 2, 3 and 4 completed with all supporting documentation such as but not limited to; receipts including the provider’s name, child’s name, date of service and date paid in full.

You will need THREE copies.  Each copy should have all the same documents including the supporting documentation.  1 packet for you, 1 packet for other party and 1 packet for the Friend of the Court.

You must mail, email or hand deliver to the other party.  You must wait 30 days from that date to receive payment before asking for Friend of the Court assistance.

If after 30 days, no payment is received, you should then send the packet to the Friend of the Court and request assistance.  The Medical Specialist will review and verify that the packet is accurate and complete.  IF it is, an order will be prepared allowing both parties 21 days to object.  IF the packet is incomplete, it will be denied and all documents will be returned to you to correct and provide the documentation needed.  THE FRIEND OF THE COURT WILL NOT KEEP ANY DOCUMENTS IF RETURNED TO THE REQUESTING PARTY.

If an objection is filed by either party, the Friend of the Court Referee’s Office will schedule a hearing to resolve the matter. 

The order will be signed by the Judge and the amount in the court order will be added to the child support account as arrears or a credit depending on obligation status.
