Legal Question in Family Law in Maryland

Re: child health insurance-divorce decree

If you've got a court order requiring your ex-husband to pay your child's health insurance premium and he's not paying, your husband is in contempt. You can bring a contempt action yourself, or the MD CSEA may help. Here's a helpful URL: http://170.224.111.196/csea/index.htm

Re: child health insurance-divorce decree

This order can be enforced as part of a child support order, or stand alone, by an earnings withholding order if your ex is employed and gets a regular paycheck. You get such an order from the court and serve it on the employer. Of course, if he is un-or self-employed, this won't work very well. You could then file a motion asking the court to order him to show cause why he shouldn't be held in contempt of court for disobeying a court order.
