Anthony Monk v. Debra Monk

Child support: Health insurance: Allocation of flat-rate premium

CSA No. 2424, Sept. Term 2011. Unreported. Opinion by Eyler, Deborah S., J. Filed January 9, 2013. Appeal from Calvert County. Affirmed in part and reversed in part. 32 pages.

The circuit court erred in concluding that, because a father obtained health insurance through his employer for a flat rate that included all four of his children, including his two adult daughters, he was not paying any actual health insurance expense for his two minor daughters; rather, the total monthly premium for the children should have been divided by the number of children, and the resulting expense for the two minor children factored into the child support calculation.
