Ask A Lawyer: Am I Responsible For Half Of the Cost For Braces?

Posted by pmcmahon in insurance , Erik Carter , Cordell Cordell, PC , co-payments , Child Support , Ask A Lawyer

Question:

My children have insurance & dental, however braces aren't covered under the current policies.  My ex is wanting to get our son braces and is telling me I must pay half of the cost although he doesn't have to have them. As a matter of fact, she makes me pay half of my co pay on regular insurance matters.

Can she force me to pay half of the cost for braces? If she can get another dime out me, she will. I'm just wondering if she can force me to pay for something that is not needed?

Ask a Lawyer: Uninsured Medical Expenses

Posted by Dads Divorce in support , Rules , Procedures , medical , KS , insurance , financial , co-payments , Ask A Lawyer

Question:

My question is. I live in Kansas and I have to paid a portion of uninsured medical expenses. My ex wife wants me to pay for the copay/deductible for my children doctor vists and emergency room visit. Do these types of expenses consider uninsured medical expenses? Thank You James

Answer:

I cannot answer your question specifically to the laws of Kansas as I am not licensed to practice law in that State. However generally that is exactly what uninsured medical expenses are. A good definition is anything that is not paid in full by insurance so copays for visits or prescriptions certainly fits into that category.
