DCAP mid-year change

Was wanting someone else's thoughts on creative ways to administer a DCAP mid year election change. Say a participant for 1/2 the year was contributing up to $2500 (married filing sep.) to the DCAP. Mid year, the person has a status change (divorce) and wants to change the election. Should the person be allowed to then contribute up to the $5000 limit...but prorated for the rest of the year? Other things to think about? Thanks!

Not necessairly. The custodial parent may have more need for child care after losing the child care capability of the spouse. For example, the noncustodial spouse may have worked part timre or may have had a non-overlapping work schedule that allowed for child care while the custodial spouse was working.
