Special and Extraordinary Expenses - Section 7.(1)(c) states that "health-related expenses that exceed insurance reimbursement by at least $100 annually..." are considered special and extraordinary expenses to be shared proportionately between the parties.
What does this mean?
Does it mean that the first $100 that isn't covered by insurance is not shared, and anything above and beyond that amount is to be shared? What if the amount is exactly $100?
Scenario: Mom orders glasses for Child totalling $500 without Dad's consent to the expense. Dad's health benefits cover $400 of the expense, forcing Mom to pay the outstanding $100. Mom sends Dad the receipt for the outstanding $100 she had to pay, and says "pay your share!" Dad tells her that his share of the expense is covered in his child support, and that any other health-related expenses not covered by insurance that should arise between now and year's end will be shared as the $100 limit has been reached. Mom says that as per the Guidelines, the $100 expense must be shared because it exceeds the insurance reimbursement by "at least $100."
So.... how does this work exactly? Any light shed on this particular S7 provision would be greatly appreciated. TIA
