Medical bills reimbursements

[jbowman]

Can I ask why you feel this a battle worth fighting? Why not just reimburse the woman for what she paid? Why make a federal case of it? If dad wants to know what the doctor said--call the doctor. You are making this so literal and in my opinion, a judge is probably going to be a little miffed that you guys are being so ridiculous.

Aren't you supposed to take a court order literally? Isn't that what they're for? For people who can't agree on things on their own, so a judge has to step in and force them to. I think it's unfortunate, but necessary...not only in this case, but others, I'm sure. She expects him to follow the order down to the last letter, but she can choose to ignore certain things that she's supposed to do? Regardless of how insignificant certain orders are, they're there for a reason. That's all I'm trying to say.

We all completely understand what you are trying to say. But if mom, in your opinion, is being ridiculous by following the court order to a T, then why would you do the same just to spite her? It is called maturity. Two people (or three if you are involved) constantly butting heads doesnt make the situation any easier.

Relax, take a break. Give a little.

Or take it to court to clarify and get yelled at for not having the maturity to co-parent. I say this from experience as it happened to me personally.

No, he's not doing it to spite her. He's following the order because that's what he's legally required to do. And, I really don't see the judge yelling at them for clarification since he's the one that put it there. There are many opinions on how this can be interpreted so, obviously, it's very unclear. But, mom isn't even arguing the same points ya'll are. She's just saying it's not her responsibility.
