What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Idaho
My husbands divorce decree states that my husband carrys health care and dental care insurance for the children. Recently the ex-wife called and said the 15yr old daughter needed braces, after looking into it we found that on a scale of 1-10 (10 being the most severe) the daughter was a 3 for need of braces. The braces cost $4500.00. The orthodontist wanted a down of 1,000.00 before she could recieve the braces. The girls are on my insurance (step mom) and starting in march my insurance would have covered a thousand dollars for the procedure. The mom did not want to wait and said that we come up with 500 dollars right now or she would sue. The braces are cosmetic and not a necessity. Are we liable to pay for this or even half?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
