Does medical/dental support end when child support ends? My child support decree says, "Defendant will pay support until each child attains age 18; except if a child attains 18 before completing high school. Support will continue until the child discontinues high school or attains age 19, whichever comes first."
My child graduated in June and that is the date child support services said my child support ended, and I forgot to ask them about medical/dental expenses. If my child went to a dentist or doctor after the high school graduation date am I legally responsible? I was splitting the medical/dental costs with my ex. I am not saying I am not going to pay for any medical/dental expenses after the graduation date. I am just wondering if I am legally emancipated from my child's medical/dental bills after the graduation date? I am keeping my child on my medical and dental insurance.
The only reference in my decree about medical expenses is that, "you will pay health care expenses for the child that are not covered and paid by insurance in the following portion 55/45."
Thank you for your time.
