When it comes to the medical bills for a child, do separated parents split the costs down the middle?

My fiance and his ex have a 5 year old child together. They were never married, but my fiance pays child support and she secures health insurance coverage. Who is responsible for the medical bills and if both, how is it divided?

The standard in my state is that the first $250 of out of pocket costs go to the parent receiving child support and after that it's split either 50/50 or in proportion to income (meaning if one parent makes $3000 per month and the other makes $1500 per month, the parent making $3000 would pay 2/3 of the expense to the other parent's 1/3). If you split expenses 50/50 then you would also share tax deductions 50/50. If you split in proportion to income, then you'd split the tax deductions the same way.
