good luck, doesn't it just suck that we have to file papers or go to court just to get these idiots to do what anyone with any parental instinct would do naturally!!??

Probably none. You should have gotten the ex's permission first and got it in writing. Don't go and make a bill and then expect your ex to pay half. He's not going to like it and probably a judge is not going to grant you half of anything. Get the bill on a monthly basis and pay for it until it's paid and know next time if insurance can not cover it then the expense will probably be on you unless you have a verbal/written agreement from the ex.

Pay for it out of the child support you recieve. Thats what child support is for- the child. If it wasn't in the divorce agreement that he has to pay half of all medical/dental bills then he doesn't have to. You should have gotten his permission before getting something done and then expecting him to pay half. Same goes for private schools, college daycare, camps, and anything else that you feel the ex should pay half for.

You should take him to court to revise your child support agreement. If the kids are under his insurance, then the rest is extra,. If they are under YOUR insurance, then you should pay half of the deductible extra. You should go to Family Court and request a revision of yoru Child Support agreement. You can apply for this normally after 3 years after the settlement (depending on your state).
Braces are considered "cosmetic" . therefore, he is not obligated to pay for that. I know that sounds horrible but is the truth.
Good luck

What you need is the order from child support that both of you signed that specifically states that he is responsible for a portion of these costs (this may or may not be half). Also, usually, they use words such as "ordinary and reasonable" so he won't have to pay for something purely cosmetic.

That stuff is normally covered in your support agreement. Did you file for support? Did he agree up front to pay half the bill?

If your divorce papers says that he has to pay half of the child's medical expenses then you would fill a small claims case.

on the time of your divorce you probably did no longer ought to pay baby help. She has the right to record for baby help any time she needs. the youngster help will take outcome the day she information for the help. What are you complaining about. that child is yours and also you ought to grant for him. you may take your divorce decree into the youngster help listening to with you as data that she didn't wish help. yet i'm guessing that a choose or Justice of the Peace will say "That became then, it really is now"
