What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Nebraska
My ex and I were divorced 8 years ago. In our divorce decree he was ordered to pay for her medical insurance and split what isn't covered 50/50. It stated that if his job didn't offer insurance he needed to obtain an individual plan for her. At the time I was self employed so my daughter qualified for State insurance. Three years ago I got a full time job and my daughter no longer qualified for state insurance so I told my ex that she needed insurance. He told me he couldn't do it. she can't go without so I put her on my plan. Now this year our company's insurance premium went up dramatically and we now have a 3500 deductible. I told him that's he's going to need to help out now, and he said no. Do I have any right to file contempt papers? If I do file it is it worth it? He tells me that if I file I will get my child support lowered cause he doesn't make as much as he did when we divorced. I am not sure how this works.
