Legal Question in Family Law in California
My husband is required, in his custody agreement, to provide insurance for his son and daughter, including medical, dental and vision. The agreement states that he and the mother are to agree on the health care provider of the children. Does this mean that it is up to my husband to choose the insurance carrier, based on his options and financial situation, and then the two parents must agree on the doctors available within this coverage? Or does this mean that the mother has to agree on the insurance carrier that the father provides, as well as the doctors? The mother is saying that he breached the custody agreement because he made a decision to change our family's health care carrier; which is closer to home and more affordable for us. The insurance is Kaiser and is full coverage in a new medical facility in town.
Thank you so much!

Without seeing the order, I cannot say for sure. From the way you describe it, however, your interpretation seems right.
