Legal Question in Family Law in New York
divorce and health insurance
On March 15 my divorce came
through. My ex has been
unemployed for 8 years so I was
supporting him. He got disability for
his many health issues after I left.
He was on my teacher's health
insurance plan until the date of
divorce.
He kept getting treatment out of
network, refusing the high bills, and
forwarding them to me. Am I still
obligated to pay any of his health
bills that have arrived after 3/15? If
the treatment was dated prior to
March 15 do I still have to pay it
even though I have been divorced
since that date?

Re: divorce and health insurance
It's impossible to answer your question without reviewing your settlement agreement and/or the order granting your divorce. The handling of these matters is ordinarily specified in one or both of those documents.
