I'm in Alabama.
My divorce decree requires that I carry medical insurance
on my daughter (now 17) which I do. My daughter got
braces. My decree does not require that I carry dental,
but I do anyway. The dental insurance I carry is going to
pay $1000 toward her total bill of $4800. My ex wife is
threatening to file that I pay 1/2 of remaining balance
amounting to $1900. My ex has had the braces put on my
daughter.
I have stated that I will pay what I can, but cannot
obligate myself to pay monthly installments totalling the
$1900.
Here's my question...
Since my divorce decree states that I am required to carry
medical and pay 1/2 of what is not paid by insurance, am I
obligated to pay the balance of the braces? It seems that
this would fall under dental (which I am not required to
carry or pay).
Please advise...she is threatening to hire an attorney.
