Legal Question in Family Law in Nevada
Hello,
I am divorce and the decree states that my ex has to pay 50% off medical bills. Do braces fall under that category?

Maybe. Not in the statute, but many divorce decrees recite the usual litany of "medical, dental, orthodontic, and optical expenses . . . ." If not, it is a matter of constructing whatever language the decree DOES say. If push comes to shove, it usually comes down to whether the dentist says it is reasonably necessary (then yes), or purely cosmetic (then no).
