Legal Question in Family Law in Texas
Insurance,
In the original decree my husband was to provide insurance for his son from a previous marriage. When we had the child support reduced the court ordered that bio-mom provide the insurance. My husband must reimburse her for the cost of the insurance each month which comes out more than what the child support was reduced by. Bio-mom was to provide insurance, so she put son on her new husband's insurance which costs more than HER insurance so my husband owes her more each month. There really is no difference in all three of the insurance's except cost.
We have tried numerious times to get bio-mom to put son on my insurance because it's cheaper and makes more sense than us having to pay her every month. She said that they had gone through the court to have it changed so that her husband could carry son. We've never seen a revised decree.
If she has something like that changed aren't we supposed to be notified?
My question is, is this possible? Could she have had the decree changed to where her husband could carry son and us not be notified? Could we get her in court for lying?
We would like to take her back to court so that we can get it ordered to put son on my insurance. Is this possible?

Re: Insurance,
You need to get a certified copy of the last court document. It is a public record and is easy to obtain. You can go to the Civil Court Bldg. downtown Houston at the corner of San Jacinto and Congress (the one with the dome on top) and order it. It costs $1 per page. Order a CERTIFIED copy! You might be able to order it on line. Visit Harris County Charles Bacarrise's website. You can also order via mail but you need to send a self-addressed and stamped envelope. Be sure to put enough postage on it.
If you are step-mom, you cannot insure him since your husband is not the primary caregiver. I'd talk to the person that handles your company's insurance.
