Didn't the court require your ex to provide health insurance? I thought that was mandatory. If he isn't holding up that part of the agreement, you need to notify your lawyer or your ex's employer that he is suppose to have your son covered. You should have an insurance card for your son to prove that he is covered.
If you have to take him to court for his lack of responsibility for providing for *his* son, that might be a nice revenge right there!
If you tell your ex these are your plans, will he straighten up and take care of the situation that he should have done long ago. It's gonna cost him a lot more in the long run if he doesn't step up and pay the bill and add the son to his medical insurance.
Good luck!!

GO to your state Child Support Enforcement Office and FILE for Back Child Support -- take your order with you, and ASK for a Modification at the same time.
This is the ONLY way to handle this problem and have the State work with you on this case.
Make sure you do this now -- before the child turns 18 -- because I can assure you, that as a Divorcee myself, who has an Ex-Spouse that does NOT pay his court-ordered shares of the costs - that the non-payment Case Filed by the State WILL stay open forever, racking up interest on the unpaid balance, and when he is found, he WILL have to pay that amount to you via direct payments from his employer.
More and More, states outside of California are getting more aggressive in pursuing these 'deadbeat dads' and not only are there financial penalties -- but also jail time for NOT supporting their children.
Just wish that California would Get on the same page as Michigan, Florida, and other states from the East Coast!

Your tag - forbidnfruit-420 - suggests that you may have problems more serious than just an overdrawn bank account. I would bet that, overall, your life is not going well and that it's time you took a "time out" to assess your situation and develop a plan for improving it. There's a lot of anger, mistrust, and lack of self-confidence going on. But, that doesn't mean you're a bad person. Be good to yourself and fall back on your trusted friends and family members for help in finding a competent therapist. Don't put this off. You've got a lot of life left - don't waste it on "REVENGE" and retribution.

Take him back to court....Keep your recipts and the judge will more than likely find in your favor. I have had a couple of friends (both male and female) that are going through exactly what you are going through. All you can do is get an attorney and fight him in court. If it is court ordered that he keeps insurance on him and didn't he will be held in contempt and the judge WON'T look at that too kindly.

Tell the doctor to a) send your husband the bill in the future, b) advise the court that he is not living up to his part of the divorce decree and c) get some insurance for yourself. I know it is expensive but find a way. You are going to get hung out on this if you don't.

Most states have a provision in the divorce decree that make an apprpriation for health insurance for the children. I would start by reviewing that agreement. If your not divorced and he was just a bf, I would contact an attorney and seek child support. Remember he is not supporting you, he is supporting his child. The state will also help you with that.

Just talk to him and give him the reassurance that it is really his son eventhough you guys broke up. Just make him feel and yearn for his son. If he gets to meet the kid very often, then subtley try to avoid sometimes , that way he might start feeling that he is his son and wants to meet him more and wants to be fair with his expenses and all.
