Legal Question in Family Law in Mississippi

My fiance is a divorcee, and in his divorce papers it states "Husband shall maintain and pay for major medical, hospitalization and dental insurance on C.H. (child of former wife) and T.H. (child of former wife) until each of said minors, respectively, are emancipated by age or otherwise. If he did not adopt these children and their biological father is still living and is providing for them, and their mother works full time with benefits, is it legally binding that my fiancee has to provide medical coverage for children that are not his?

IT WOULD DEPEND ON WHETHER OR NOT HE AGREED TO THOSE TERMS OR NOT IN AN AGREED DISPOSITION OF THE DIVORCE. OTHERWISE HE MAY BE ABLE TO SHOW THAT THE NATURAL FATHER SHOULD BE THE ONE WITH THAT RESPONSIBILITY TO EACH CHILD.
