Legal Question in Family Law in Texas
The divorce was final in 2002 and my daughter is now 15 years old. The decree states that respondent is responsible for medical insurance and is to provide either HMO or PPO health insurance coverage through his employer with out-of-pocket expenses divided between respondent and petitioner 50/50. The decree also delineates that if the respondent changes coverage for the child and the change is not an HMO or PPO plan, the expenses of the new coverage must be covered by the respondent at 100%. All was fine until respondent switched from a PPO to a HDHP with a deductible for the child that is in to the thousands. Now respondent refuses to pay for child's doctor visits and necessary medication (claims they are "too expensive"). What can be done to have respondent adhere to the decreee and fulfill his parental obligation to provide medical support for his child?
