NOTE: This communication is not intended as and should not be interpreted as legal advice. Rather, it is intended solely as a general discussion of legal principles. You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you. By reading the "Response" to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

According to your post, the court has already ordered you to provide the health care coverage in the final decree. There is no further action necessary in order to do so. Your failure to comply with the court order could result in your ex wife filing for a Rule to Show Cause why you should not be held in contempt of court for failing to comply. Serious penalties could result including payment of her attorney's fees and court costs and even incarceration.

Depending on the circumstances the court can require you to provide her with health.
