Most states place a cap on the amount of child care that can be reimbursed through child support. The custodial parent can spend whatever they like on child care, but child support will usually only consider up to a maximum amount.

For example, your state may conclude that any amount over $800/month is unreasonable for child care. The custodial parent could still pay $1200/month on child care, but child support would only be calculated based on the maximum amount of $800.

Not all states have such a cap. Your state's child support guidelines should list that amount, if there is one.
