If a parenting plan states the father has to provide full coverage insurance on a vehicle in his ex-wives name

Question

and it's for their son, AND the vehicle is paid in full, can he pay liability only? Can she FORCE him to continue full coverage if she owe's nothing on the vehicle? The insurance is going to be $240 a month!

Answer 1

I don't understand why he should have to do that at all.....Health insurance I understand....car insurance you have got to be kidding....

Answer 2

You are not obligated to provide your ex-wife with health insurance and it will only make you bring home a smaller paycheck. She cannot legally be covered under your family group plan because she is no longer a part of your family. It would have to be under an individual plan. You will be forever fighting some type of battle with her if you don't settle the parenting plan issue. By the way, since when does SHE get to tell the Judge what she will and won't do when ordered by the Courts to follow his orders of visitation and other child related issues? She can be held in contempt and your attorney needs to make that clear to her. Get a backbone and stop trying to use the insurance issue as leverage. You don't HAVE to do it that way and you'll never be able to satisfy her regardless of what you do.

Answer 3

Yes, I think so. Liability insurance is expensive when there is a teenage driver. I think the courts, at least in Franklin County, Pennsylvania, would require full automobile insurance coverage.

I can't answer for other jurisdictions.

Answer 4

If the agreement didn't state specifically what type of coverage and the only one you are required by law to have is liability then I guess that would be right. You would have to go to court to have your agreement amended.

Answer 5

Actually, when there's still a lien on a car, the lienholder will require comprehensive insurance since it's their car too.

Answer 6

what is the EXACT wording of the order from the court?

That is what controls.
