Legal Question in Family Law in California
Fraudulant medical bills
court orders require i pay 1/2 of all uninsured medical cost of my daughter. my ex-wife presented and collected from me 1/2 of $337.50 of medical bills (phyco-threrapy), that were for her and her husband. they were submitted along with my daughters bills. I have proof through my insurance company that these were visit were not for my daughter just her and her husband. I have the letter from the ex where she subtracted the monies from an amount she owed me do to overpayment. This is not the first time she has done this, I would like to put a stop to her, can I bring fraud charges against her and how do I go about this, is it mail fraud, insurance fraud or just plain fraud. or all of the above. Thank you so much for this site and help

Re: Fraudulant medical bills
There is civil fraud and criminal fraud. I doubt a District Attorney would file criminal charges against your ex. As far as civil fraud is concerned, if it can be proved you might get sanctions as well as the amount you were defrauded, but more likely, you would just get back the overpayment.
