Legal Question in Family Law in Indiana

My fiance went to court recently & got support established for his youngest daughter. At this time the order reads that "parties are both ordered to carry private insurance on the child when available through their place of employment." My fiance's job doesn't have insurance & he is on mine as a significant other (will be spouse as of Oct 6th). We had checked with my benefits department before court about adding his daughter & they stated as long as the court order included that he was required to carry coverage that it would work as a qualifying event. So to my question... The mother of the child is not happy about the daughter being on my insurance. She wants to keep the child on Medicaid despite my ability to cover her. She has stated she doesn't want to have her on mine to where she will have to pay co-payments & such. Can she refuse our coverage & keep the daughter on medicaid? If she's not added to my insurance wouldn't my fiance then be in contempt for not carrying coverage? Thank you!
