Calculate fair co-parenting expense splits based on each parent's income — for medical, activities, school, and other shared costs.
For unexpected medical bills, calculate each parent's share of the out-of-pocket remainder after insurance.
Beyond base child support, Utah generally has parents share certain child expenses, like work-related childcare and the children's portion of medical costs, in proportion to their incomes. This tool estimates each parent's share.
Commonly shared costs include medical, dental, and vision expenses not covered by insurance, work- or school-related childcare, and often activities the parents agree on. Your decree or parenting plan controls the specifics.
Usually not. Utah typically divides shared child expenses in proportion to each parent's income rather than evenly, so the higher earner generally covers a larger share.
