What is the name of your state? New York.
My husband's son is 19 years old, soon to be 20 years old. He is graduated from high school and working. Did not, and does not intend on going to college or trade school. My husbands support order reads "mother is to continue to cover the child for health insurance and father is to reimburse her for 50% of uninsured medical, dental, eyeglass, etc. expenses. She is further ordered to submit explanation of benefits to father and he reimbursed her the 50% of the uninsured portion.
My question is this. We do not think the son has any health insurance. I don't think he can be carried under his mother's plan anymore since he is graduated from high school and not going on to college. If the mother submits a medical bill to us for the total, are we obligated to pay 50% of it.
For example, he goes to convenient care, and the bill is $175, he does not have insurance, so the bill is his responsiblity, she then send us the bill and expects us to pay $87.50? Is she in contempt of the support order because she does not have health insurance on the son? Are we responsible for 50% of total bill?
If she send us the bill, can we request her to show proof that he is insured?
Thanks for you help.
