Legal Question in Family Law in Georgia

my husband and i just filed bankruptcy. Now his ex wife is saying she is going to sue him because their daughter needs braces. The divorce papers say nothing about medical insurance because my husband job does not offer it and the children are currently on peachcare for kids. We are already broke and barely getting by now. Also she has not let him see his children in over 3 years. Please any advice would be great. Thanks

The divorce papers say nothing about insurance, but that does not tell us much. You failed to tell us what the order says about paying for the child's necessary expenses. Certainly, it does, or should, but you left out that necessary part of the story. Presumably, your husband wants to see that his child's medical and dental needs are met?? As far as visitation, what is your question, why is it relevant to the braces issue, and again, what does the order say about visitation? If he is allowed visitation, and has gone 3 years without making sure he gets it, it is most likely HIS fault.

You've left out information needed to answer you, but since you're in bankruptcy (which means you presumably have a lawyer) and her ability to sue is affected for the moment by that, consult with your bankruptcy lawyer.
