reasonable period in which to enjoy time with the child to make-up

In the event that neither Husband nor Wife have insurance furnished
to them by their employer, at no or minimal cost, then the cost of
insurance shall be borne such that fifty percent (50%) shall be
allocated to Husband and fifty percent (50%) shall be allocated to
Wife.
LT. NISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS - CHILD
