Legal Question in Family Law in Texas
Today I was served with a Motion for Enforment of Medical Support by my ex-husband. I have been paying 100% of the out of pocket medical expenses because my employer does not offer a health plan. My ex-husband has been carrying the health insurance for our son.
I have asked the Attorney General's office on several occasions if I need to pay his part of the health insurance my ex-husband is paying and was always told that as long as I paid 100% of the out of pocket medical expenses then I was satisfying my obligation.
Our son is now 18 and will graduate from high school in December. My court date is set for December 13, 2011.
My ex-husband is demanding $9,322.30 in back medical bills and health insurance premiums. He is not showing that just since October of last year I have paid $740.00 (I have all the cancelled checks from my back as proof). Can he really get that amount? I don't have that kind of money and was looking forward to finally ending my child support obligation at the end of this year.

We would need to look at your order to see what your obligation is, to determine whether or not Dad's suit is good or is bogus.
You can't always trust the advice you get from the Attorney General.
If you were actually SERVED with the Motion (it would have included an Order to Appear), you want to make 100% sure that you go to Court on the appointed day.
Receiving a letter in the mail is NOT the same as being served.
