Re: Non Costodial Parent bill paying
The first place to look for an answer to your question is the divorce decree. What exactly does the order say with regard to elective dental/medical procedures. If it is silent on the matter, then to force your wife to pay half, the ex will have to attempt to modify the divorce decree. IF your wife signed anything with the Dentist's office agreeing to be a liable party she can be sued or have other collection efforts taken by the dentist for any unpaid amounts.
Good luck.
