Legal Question in Family Law in Michigan
My stepdaughter is covered under her mothers health insurance. Her mother has a high deductible plan of $2500. Her employer contributes $1500 to a health savings account per year to offset the cost of the deductible. Her mother is stating we owe her $1250 for our half of medical expenses. We believe the medical expenses should get split in half only for out of pocket expenses, so the employer contribution shoud be taken out first. What do you think? This was not addressed in the divorce decree because her mother did not have this health insurance at this time.

Insurance and medical expenses is almost always addressed in a divorce judgment. Refer to the judgment first and then, if it really is not addressed, you may be required to file a motion. http://www.wolverinelaw.com
