SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Child support; medical expenses. Repeals current provisions regarding extraordinary medical expenses and provides that the parties share, in accordance with their respective income shares, all uninsured medical expenses above eight percent of the total support obligation. Eight percent of the total support obligation is presumed to be the medical expense threshold. A definition of "medical expenses" is added. The bill adds a requirement that support orders contain a provision for the payment of reasonably necessary uninsured medical expenses for dependent children. This bill is recommended by the Virginia Bar Association Coalition Committee on Family Law Legislation and is based on recommendations made by the Child Support Quadrennial Review Panel.
