Michigan law now requires each judgment where there are minor children to contain a clause regarding medical insurance. The court shall order one or both parents to obtain and/or maintain health care coverage for the children if that coverage is available at a reasonable cost.
In addition to this provision, your judgment should also contain a clause dealing with those health care bills not covered by health care insurance.
Any additional health care expenses should be split between the parents in proportion to their respective incomes, with no parent paying less than 10 percent of the uninsured health care bills.
