Who has legal custody? What does your custody agreement say about how medical treatment is to be handled? It would definitely depend on the situation. It would depend on what is wrong with your child and whether taking her out of the hospital poses a danger to the child. If a person leaves before being discharged from the hospital by the doctor, the insurance can refuse to pay. If that is a possibility, I would tell your ex that you will be giving him the entire bill. You may want to consult an attorney to explore your options.
