The court may enter an order allocating the reasonable child care expenses for the child, which are due to employment of either parent, job search of either parent, or the training or education of either parent necessary to obtain a job or enhance earning potential.

If the federal child care tax credit is available to the custodial parent, it shall be calculated at twenty–five percent of the eligible expense.
