Legal Question in Family Law in Indiana
In my divorce it was determined that I would pay child support and pay for health insurance for my sons. I have been doing this for years. My insurance is through my work, and costs are going up each year. By the time I pay my support, I bring home about $1100 a month. My ex wife keeps taking my sons to doctors and hospitals for every little sneeze, but refuses to go to doctors in my insurance network. Therefore, my insurance doesn't pay anything, and I'm left with thousands of dollars in doctor bills. my question is does she have a right to take them to doctors not covered in my insurance network? And if she continues to do this, is there any way I can make her pay instead of me since this is her choice and not mine?

If she incurs a bill that is not covered by your insurance, generally speaking she has to pay part of that bill too. You can ask the court to order her to pay a greater share of the bills if you wish. You should take your decree to an attorney to make sure you are paying what you should be paying and no more.
