I am located in FL.
My ex-husband, according to the settlement statement, is required to pay half of the QDRO. I already paid for it about 6 weeks ago, not realizing what the settlement statement had said. If I ask him now to pay for half, as this is what is stated in the judgment, do I have any recourse if he refuses?
We're going to court so I can try and modify the judgment. Already went to mediation. Should I bring up the QDRO then, or will the judge not be willing to entertain that topic? Since I already paid for it, would I need to go through small claims? Or because it's in the judgment is this contempt of court?
Also, I'd like to modify the settlement statement to state that we are each responsible for 50% of the medical expenses of our daughter. I paid about $700 when she was hospitalized about 8 months ago. Through the court system, do you think I would be able to get my ex to pay for half of these coinsurance expenses? Or am I at fault because I did not ask him to, and I went ahead and paid them myself? Again, should the fact that I paid this $700 be brought up with the judge when we are there for the modification of settlement statement, or should I go another way about it?
Thank you.
