I assume you mean the medical bill related to the miscarriage. Medical bills related to a birth are as much the responsibility of the father as the mother, but Florida law doesn't address the issue of medical bills relating to miscarriages. Since he started to pay on the bill, though, you have a decent small claims case that he acknowledges that he is responsible for a portion of the bill.
