Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey
My stepson is covered under my medical insurance. My stepson's dad regularly pays child support. In the agreement between my wife and the birth father it states "The parties shall be equally responsible for any uncovered medical expenses." Would this cover the cost for braces?

In my opinion, it would. However, it would be up to a judge to decide, based on the context of the agreement, other monies being paid by the father and other factors that the Judge may deem relevant.
Keep in mind that this advice is given based on the little bit of information that you have provided in your question. My advice may change based on other information. Further, no one can rely on advice from an attorney who has not been retained. You cannot rely on this advice because we have not personally met and you have not retained me as an attorney. If you have not already done so, you should immediately meet with a Family Law attorney for a full consultation before you take any further steps. You may feel free to call me at 856-546-8010 to discuss this matter in more detail. If you do so, mention Law Guru and your first one hour of time will be free. Good luck! Rob Gleaner
