Legal Question in Family Law in Michigan
Medical Coverage
When it is ordered that you are responsible for 50% of medical on you child,and the parent with custody admits them to a Psychiatric Hospital and accumulates a 6,500 bill, is that considered your responsibility when you did not consent?

Re: Medical Coverage
If the doctors say it was a necessity and necessary for the child to be admitted, you are going to lose. The parent who has the child at that moment has the authority to take the child to a hospital if necessary. That parent does not need the permission of the absent parent, even if there is joint custody. William S. Stern
