Legal Question in Family Law in Iowa
Unreimbused Medical Expenses
Decree states, �The Petitioner shall be responsible for the first $250 per year per child of uncovered expenses up to a maximum of $500 per year for the minor children. Uncovered medical expenses in excess of $250 per minor child or a maximum of $500 per year for all minor children shall be paid by the parents in proportion to their respective incomes.�
One child experienced many medical costs and after the first $250, the respondent began paying the uncovered expenses in proportion. However, medical costs continued for that child and when the combined uncovered hit $500, the petitioner requested respondent to pay the other childs unreimbursed medical costs in proportion to income. Respondent agrued that he wasn't required since second child had not yet ''hit his $250''.
Respondent should begin paying the second childs unreimbursed medical expenses when the combined total exceeds $500 in this case, correct?

Re: Unreimbused Medical Expenses
Quite frankly it sounds like you are fighting over a mere $250 and the intent of the section is not at all clear, as disclosed by the fact that you are arguing about what it means. I would suggest that you take this to the attorney who wrote it and ask them what it is they meant.
