: child's medical bills
I think this is the 2nd time you asked this question, and the answer is still the other spouse has some obligation, depending on the language of the order.
Re: childs medical bills
It depends upon your specific agreement with the medical provider, which is separate and distinct from your agreement with your spouse, as articulated in the divorce decree.
Re: childs medical bills
Assuming that your divorce decree states that your spouse is responsible for 1/2 of your child's medical bills, you do have a right to be reimbursed.
If you have any further questions, or if you would like your divorce decree reviewed, please feel free to contact my office.
