my ex and I agreed to split the costs of 2 operations our kids needed that are elective surgery (not covered under ins) prior to getting divorced.
We have split custody of 2 kids.
Well about a year ago, the child living with her went in for the surgery and of course I was asked to pay my share. No problem.
Now, the child that lives with me is due for his surgery and she is now refusing to pay her share, claiming we never agreed to this and our divorce decree doesn't state such (well of course it doesn't, it was already agreed to). It just states general health care obligations.
I have her agreement of splitting the costs in an old email she sent....will that hold up as proof if this needs to go to arbitration...which seems like it is.

Do you have a question somewhere in there or did you just want to rant?
Either way, I hope things turn out for you.

I would think it would be proof in addition to the fact that you paid your half for the previous surgery. Even though you are going into arbitration and not full court, I would ask your attorney to be sure.
Two questions though. Is the return email address (hers) known to be her's specifically and did she sign her name to the email? These things could be helpful in proving that the email was from her.
I still think though that you have a good case. Good luck.

I can see why you divorced her. I would try to copy t e-mail and see what happens. And you have the proof that you already paid half on the first ones opperation. i think you have a real good chance.

Take a copy of your written evidence to your attny. He's the only one to best advise you.
I know it's none of my biz but what could be so important for elective surgery???

Take it to your lawyer and get proceedings going...It needs to be added to the divoce...some things can be changed after the final divorce...money problems is one of them...Do it before the hospital starts taking you for collection because that is no good for your credit...the rest of this advice in here is pretty good too...Good luck....
