Legal Question in Family Law in California
Small Claims Court to Recover Unreimbursed Medical Costs?
My divorce agreement requires each parent to pay 50% of unreimbursed medical costs and 50% of health insurance premiums on behalf of my children. Since I already have an agreement in place, can I recover unpaid sums which are due to me in small claims court? Is it necessary to go back to family court simply to enforce payment these sums? Thank you. Dawn

Re: Small Claims Court to Recover Unreimbursed Medical Costs?
Small Claims Court does not have jurisdiction because the Family Law court has jurisdiction. If your local court has a facilitators office, ask them to help you prepare a motion. Its not difficult. You may be able to do it yourself, othewise find an attorney who will wait to get most of his fees from your ex. Good Luck, Pat McCrary
