Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois

My ex-wife took our daughter to a denist that is out of our dental network(of course so the bill would be more expensive, very bad divorce) I cover my daughter through my medical/dental plan at work. The denist sent the bill in my name because they said that I was the guarantor, because I carry the insurance. Of course I tried to explain that I didn't even choose this denist nor did I consent to treatment. The bill should go to my ex-wife and then once she has paid it I will reimburse to her my portion that I am responseable for which is 2/3rds of any medical or dental bills. How does my ex-wife and the dental office get away with this. I don't know what to do please advise because she does this all the time and some bills in the past have gone into collections because they are so large I can't keep up. Please help me. Am a good Dad I have always paid my support on time for the past 10 years.

simple. You need to file a motion and get it spelled out in an order. What she is doing is unacceptable. Hiring an attorney will improve your odds, but you can also try to do it yourself.
