Legal Question in Family Law in Arizona

Child's Health Insurance (Post Divorce)

My ex-husband and I have Joint Legal Custody of our 3 yr old son. In our decree, it states that his Father is responsible for health insurance along with child support. He is not paying child support, and is also not giving me info as to my son's health insurance provider. (I do not believe he has insurance, as he is self-employed). Two questions:

1. Is there an alternate way of finding out if my son has health insurance?

2. Can I put him on my own health insurance (Blue Cross Blue Shield) without permission from his Father or the Courts?

I am concerned, that if an emergency arises, he won't have health insurance or benefits.

Re: Child's Health Insurance (Post Divorce)

first, you can certainly provide coverage, especially if you are not sure there is other coverage. IF there is, then it's just double coverage. No problem.

Sounds like a good strong lawyer letter might get you the answere.

Otherwise, you need to get an enforcement or contempt action going on the insurance and child support issues.

Let us know if there is anything we do to assist you.
