Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

In the divorce decree it states that the all medical reimbursment receipts should be presented to the one providing the insurance for the child within 10 days of receipt. If the other party holds them and presents them all at one time, all of which are 2-4 months old, am I still responsible for them since they were not presented within the 10 days from receipt stated in the decree? And by doing this the other party is just trying to cause a financial problem for me.

Based on what you have written and in the best interest of your child, you and your spouse need to come to an agreement for the benefit of your child. If the decree states that receipts must be presented within 10 days, then the receipts should be presented within 10 days for reimbursement payment within a specified number of days.

Without actually reading your decree there is no way to be certain, but many decrees state that receipts presented within 10 days must be paid within 10 days and that you have longer (how much depends on the decree) to pay your share if they not presented in a timely manner. You are still responsible for paying your share. Feel free to call my office if you have more questions.
