Most people think that child support should only cover food, shelter, and clothing.

If you've been wondering what child support covers, here is a list.

Health Insurance 
It's common for children to fall ill, which can take a heavy toll on one parent's finances.

Different states have different methods of determining which parent should pay for health insurance.

If you're unsure, make sure any agreement explicitly states whether health insurance is covered under the support arrangement for the kids.

Sometimes health care costs will not be part of child support payments and will be considered a "Variable expense" instead. Education If the children are in a K-12 private school, the child support payments can take care of fees and items like uniforms.

At times parents may divorce while the children are still very young and not yet in school.
