Legal Question in Family Law in California
My daughters mom moved with my daughter and her brand new husband to arizona. I live in california. I will be maintaining about 15% - 20% visitation. I've always provided medical for her. Given the fact that she moved because her husband got a better job, what is the likelihood that I will still be responsible for her medical coverage? Neither my wife nor my company provides coverage out of state, and my thought is that it is kind of unfair that she moves and I fund it. Any advice is greatly appreciated

The law states that you have to provide health insurance so long as available for little or no cost through YOUR employer or union. Generally, courts will not force you to purchase insurance which is not able to be used. See my blog on my site regarding what is reasonable cost.

If you have not made the arrangement official by obtaining a judge's signature, you need to. You may need the insurance if she has issues while in California, so I don't know that I would even make that argument. Mr. Schneider is correct - It isn't likely that a judge would relieve you of that duty.
