Legal Question in Family Law in Virginia
I have a child support agreement which states "At this time, neither party can afford to retain health care coverage for the child. The mother shall be responsible for 29% and the father shall be responsible for 71% of any reasonable and necessary uninsured medical and dental expenses." Since the agreement was settled, we have both gotten insurance but I have always paid 100% of my child's health insurance as well as medical procedures. Can I take my child's father with a "show of cause" for this?

A Show Cause Rule against this father based upon what default on his part? (If you've been volunterring to
handle 100% of these expenses through your insurance without giving him the opportunity [or the need]
to pay what's required as his share of this agreement, it's unlikely that on these facts there would
be a valid basis for this rule asking that the court find this father in contempt and therefore
possibly subject to appropriate sanction(s).)
The above is my opinion.
