Legal Question in Family Law in Georgia

medical insurance

''defendant shall cause to be maintained medical insurance coverage for the benefit of the minor child as the same may be available to her through her employment at a reasonable cost''.........if my ex- wife has terminated coverage thru non-payment and/or quit her job and the new employer does not offer ins. coverage, can I require that she outsource and continue to carry ins. on my daughter? I have checked and the current covverage has expired as of 5/31/2006 and there are about $2800 in medical bills that were not covered due to the lapse in insurance.....will i still be responsible for one-half the ''NON Covered'' expenses?

thanks

Re: medical insurance

You need to have a local attorney review the divorce settlement. It may be that she is in contempt but it is premature to make that judgment without looking at the entire paperwork.

Words mean what they say. If the requirement is availability through an employer and it's not available, that would answer the question. The attorney who handled your case would need to review the WHOLE agreement to know if any other provisions affect the answer.
