In Texas it is suppose to lower child support but you need to provide it once you go to court. If you provide it after you go to court then you can contact the child support office and they will need proof. Sometimes they will take it out but sometimes they will leave it because they will say that the parent will still need to provide a copay or pay for the doctor bill with the extra money.

In Wisconsin both parents are to provide the health coverage. In my situation, I am the only one that covers the kids at this time...and he does not pay support. I am hoping that his lack of coverage does come into play...but not that far yet

Nope, not even if the mammy is on welfare and getting free medical.

It can in North Carolina provided you use a attorney to deal with the child support people and your attorney knows what he is doing.

nope. It doesn't lower 1/3 of the cost of rent/mortgage the custodial parent has to pay. It doesn't lower 1/3 of the cost of electricty or gas to heat that home. It doesn't lower 1/3 the cost of food/clothing for that child. It doesn't lower 1/3 the cost of garbage pick up or water and sewer charges. It doesn't lower 1/3 the cable bill or internet bill or phone bill. The above is what the child support is going to pay for. Now when the health insurance payments lower them maybe you'll have a point.
