See 'errorPlacement' - example code below - this checks to see if I have
a div or span after my label - if so it places the error AFTER those
elements. If not it defaults to inserting it right after the label.
$("#frmtelework").validate({
errorPlacement: function(label, element) {
if ( element.next("div").length ) {
label.insertAfter( element.next() );
} else if ( element.next("span").length ) {
label.insertAfter( element.next() );
}
else {
label.insertAfter( element );
}
$(label).wrap('<div class="errormsg"></div>');
},
rules: {
// to make hidden elements required do:
// elementwhichishidden: {required:
"#parentelement:visible"},
personIDdisplay: {required: true},
homeaddress1: {required: true},
homecity: ..........

I haven't done that but I think you could use the visible example like
I've shown above to do something similar:
elementwhichischecked: {required: "#parentelement:checked"}
Or something along those lines...
