§ 514. Liability of father to mother. The father is liable for the
reasonable expenses of the mother's confinement and recovery and such
reasonable expenses in connection with her pregnancy as determined by
the court; provided, however, where the mother's confinement, recovery
and expenses in connection with her pregnancy were paid under the
medical assistance program on the mother's behalf, the father may be
liable to the social services district furnishing such medical
assistance and to the state department of health for medical assistance
so expended. Such expenses, including such expenses paid by the medical
assistance program on the mother's behalf, shall be deemed cash medical
support and the court shall determine the obligation of the parties to
contribute to the cost thereof pursuant to subparagraph five of
paragraph (c) of subdivision one of section four hundred thirteen of
this act.
