Legal Question in Family Law in Texas
My ex was court ordered to obtain medical insurance for our son. She refuses. I added him to my policy for $68/month.
Our son has several medical issues that require constant medical care. His average monthly medical bills are $385, after insurance pays, plus the $68/month for the premium, plus vision (he wears glasses) & dental are another $300/year. My total medical expenses per month are roughly $478, & that assumes he doesn't get sick at any time during the year. His Dr. has recently suggested he see a psychologist as well. My insurance has very limited coverage for these services. I also pay $75.00/month for extracurricular activies. My ex pays child support of $212/month, when she pays. Usually the case worker has to threaten her with jail before she will pay & she has never paid the full $212. I offer her visitation routinely. The judge offered it to her in court. She says it's not convenient for her. In 2015 she spent approximately 5 days with him & in 2016 she saw him for 1 hour. My ex lives in LA. My son & I moved to TX 7 months ago. I am going broke. What is my recourse?

I think which are telling me is that you have a California divorce decree.
You remedies with regard to health insurance premiums and noncovered medical expenses will be whatever is specified in the decree. If it were a Texas order, I could tell you what it probably says.
As far as your recourse, you would have to sit down with a lawyer who could look at your decree.
