What is the name of your state? wv
My husband has a support order that states he is to provide medical insurance on his other kid when it becomes available to him through an employers group health or labor union. He gave the judge a letter from his employer at the hearing stating they offer family coverage. So in the child support order it also states my husband has the ability to obtain medical insurance.
He just talked to his human resources rep and she said that the family medical insurance his employer offers only allows 3 people. Himself and 2 dependants. Well he has myself and our child on the insurance. If he wants to add his other kid he has to pay 120.00 extra a month. Which is more than 5 percent of his income and the cour order states he doesn't have to provide insurance if the insurance cost for his child is over 5 percent.
My concerns with this is that could a judge make him cancel my insurance and put his other child on his insurance in my place since there is a court order. Because I'm a stay at home mom. I don't want to leave my child in the care of other people. But if my husband can't carry me on his insurance I would have to find a job with insurance. And those are hard to find where we live. We cannot afford to add an extra dependant to his insurance at the cost of 120.00 extra a month.
Also we suspect his kid has a medical card since it's mother told the judge this during the hearing. His medical insurance company will not allow a child currently covered by a medical card or any other insurance to be added to the policy. The insurance company also say my husband has 30 days from the time the child gets off the medical card to enroll it or they will not allow it to be put on his insurance policy. Since there is a court order do the insurance companies rules matter? I didn't think they did.
We don't know his childs address. Since we don't know where the mother or it lives. And his caseworker won't tell him. The insurance company told him there was no way they could add a dependant if he didn't know their address anyway. And his caseworker won't tell the insurance company the mothers address.
Could someone answer all four of my questions. Preferrably one at a time. Thanks.
