What is the name of your state? Kansas
I have been proceeding up to this point Pro-Se and so has my Ex-wife. We were fighting in court over medical expenses that she has accrued over the past few years. In our divorce decree it states that I am responsible for 1/2 of the non-reimbursed medical/dental/orthodontic expenses and she is to provide medical coverage for our child.
She unfortunately has not maintained continuous coverage so the majority of the expenses that she has kept track of were either while there was NO coverage or not covered due to pre-existing condition. I had fought these charges with the hearing officer and actually won. She then appealed to the district court judge and a hearing was set up. I ended up missing the hearing (supposed to call in via phone from out of state), and she won by default.
I need to know what can I do to appeal this. All the court will tell me is I have to go through the Court of Appeals, but hiring a lawyer will cost me more than the bills are worth, except the fact that my current wife is ready to wring my neck.
The biggest problem I have is I live out of state, halfway across the country, so appearing in court is a hassle to say the least.What is the name of your state?
