Reimbursement of medical expenses for handicapped daughter
I have a CP handicapped daughter. Per the divorce decree, I am to pay 80% of unreimbursed medical expenses. There is a provision that states that if the expense is over $500, I am to be notified. My ex constantly ignores this, cause medical equipment for my daughter, like wheelchairs, are always over $500. So she just goes ahead and gets it, 9 times out of 10 out of network, signs authorizing the equipment, with the responsible party being me! Now I am getting bills for $9,000 and $15,000 dollars for medical equipment for my daughter. Am I legally obligated to pay these, when I never authorized the equipment to begin with?

Re: Reimbursement of medical expenses for handicapped daughter
You are posting this question on this website, which tells me that the attorney who handled your divorce is not taking care of this. You need a divorce attorney to fight for you.
If, and only if, all is as you say, then you will NOT be responsible for any more than what you should have paid if your ex followed the requirements. If there are any additional important facts that you did not mention, then this answer may change.
You need to stop this, and you need to take action probably by way of Court motion, or you will get this kind of bill until your ex decides to stop.
