Are non-prescription items (pain killers, acne treatments, etc.) considered medical expenses to be shared between divorced parents? PSA has percentages for medical expenses.

Any unreimbursed medical expenses beyond the first $250 per year per child are paid by income percentages pursuant to the child support guidelines. The first $250 is paid by the custodial parent called parent of primary residence for guidelines purposes.
