Legal Question in Family Law in South Carolina
Current South Carolina Divorce decree lists no specifics ( age, etc) regarding my obligations to pay 1/2 of uncovered medical bills for our son ( who is covered under my ex's health plan)---no " as long as he remains in college " etc.
When the decree was issued, the only reference to my obligations of medical payments was to pay 1/2 of the "minor" childs bills.
My son is now 18 with plans to attend college next term. With the lack of specificity within the order, and the fact that he is no longer a "minor"--am I obligated to continue any additional length of time?
1 Answer from Attorneys
Generally, if there is nothing else listed about medicals, after child turns 18 and graduates from high school, you are no longer responsible. If child support has stopped then your obligation to pay any portion of medicals has stopped. If you have any question as to your specific order I would recommend having a consult with a local attorney.
