Notice
The court is required to order income withholding in all child support orders. Income withholding is enforced by a withholding order issued to the paying parent’s employer without additional notice to the paying parent, according to Idaho Code Section 32-1204. 

The support order can also be enforced by license suspension or the filing of a lien upon all real and personal property of the paying parent.

c. Multiple Children. (if applicable)
 If this child support order has not been modified, when one child is no longer entitled
to support, child support for the remaining child/ren shall continue and will be paid as described in the Continued Support Worksheet attached as Schedule B.  
d. Extended Visits. (if applicable)
 When the parent who has custody 25% of the time or less is paying child support and has physical custody of the child/ren for 14 or more overnights in a row, the amount of basic child support shall be reduced for that period of time. However, visitation of two overnights or less with the other parent shall not eliminate the reduction of basic child support during extended visits. The child support reduction for the period of the actual physical custody shall be  50% or   (other percentage) 	       % of the basic child support obligation. The reduction shall be subtracted from the child support payment due the month following the extended visit.  
  If the parent paying child support has physical custody of some but not all of the children for a period of 14 overnights in a row, before a reduction is made, the basic child support obligation shall first be divided by the number of children under eighteen (18)  years of age. The parent who pays child support can only claim a reduction for the child/ren in that parent’s custody.

Insurance proceeds shall be applied first to unpaid medical bills and then to reimburse the paying parent for any prepaid medical costs.  Both parents shall be ordered to sign any needed document that provides continuing health care for the child/ren.

Failure to provide medical insurance coverage may result in the direct enforcement of a medical support order by either the obligee (party or parent other than the parent ordered to carry or provide a health benefit plan for the parties' minor child/ren) or the Department of Health and Welfare.  A national medical support notice will be sent to your employer, requiring your employer to enroll the child in a health benefit plan as provided by Sections 32-1214A through 32-1214J, Idaho Code, and applicable rules of the department.
