2004 Michigan Child Support Formula Manual (effective October 1, 2004):
2.12 (E) The determinable portion of health insurance premiums for other children the parent is obligated to support.
(1) The determinable portion of health insurance premiums paid by parents for any other child that parent is legally obligated to support (excluding children in case being evaluated) should be subtracted dollar for dollar from gross income.
(2) If the children in the case under consideration, the parent, or others are included on the coverage, the other children’s portion of the premium is represented in the difference in cost between single and family coverage, divided by the number covered by the family coverage (excluding the parent), and multiplied by the number of other children that the parent is obligated to support.
(3) If the cost of single coverage cannot be determined or if the parent is not included, the children’s portion of the premium is represented in the entire premium divided by the number of individuals covered, and multiplied by the number of other children that the parent is obligated to support.
