Legal Question in Family Law in California
out of pocket medical expenses
My ex-wife is making me pay for the 2nd set of braces for both of my children. Am I responsible for the cost of this even though I paid for the orthodontic insurance? Also, if she moves away is she responsible for the transportation for the kids?

Re: out of pocket medical expenses
to determine your level of responsibility, you'll have to read your court order. if it says your responsible for 1/2 of the dental care and braces are necessary, then you'll have to pay 1/2. if the ex is not using your dental insurance and your insurance would cover the expenses, then you might have some recourse.
she's not automatically responsible for transportation costs because she moves. i've seen courts do all sorts of things regarding this issue. it depends on the specific facts and circumstances of your case.
