She moved, I didn't. I was carrying both my kids on my insurance happily for years. She decided to move. I could have forced the issue and, at the very least, made it difficult for her to relocate but I didn't. I have offered to take both kids in and not request a cent of CS to allow her to do whatever she needs to get her finances in order.Now you're annoying me. I have to ask - did you even check to see if your insurance would cover your dependents? Did you check to see if there was an exclusion based on the state of their primary residence? If you didn't then you should have done so. How about your wife's policy? Her health plan also does not cover services out of state? Both of you only have access to one possible health plan?
If you had that clause included because you were well aware that there was some sort of exclusion and you wanted to get over - well then, shame on you for not caring about your children enough to ensure that they have medical coverage. If your order says that Mom has to provide insurance - well, Mom has provided insurance. It's pretty clear that Mom is not in a position to pay for medical insurance but she has enrolled them in medicaid in order to "provide" them with insurance.
Go to court - know what the Family court judge is going to do? Shrug their shoulders, comment that if she doesn't have the resources to pay for private insurance what else can she do but enroll them for state assistance. The children need insurance.
So while you are trying to spite Mom and planning to file for contempt of court, have fun repaying the state for your children's medicaid costs. And by the way - Happy holidays! Your concern and generosity to your children is truly inspiring.
At the end of the day, there is no reason that her move out of state should result in my costs increasing by even 1 cent. The judge agreed with me. She can always move back here and return to the status quo that existed prior to her move.
