What is the name of your state? Texas
My daughter is 13 years old. She has not seen or heard from her father in over 8 years. In June, her doctor's office called and said my insurance declinded her bill because it was not filled with her primary insurance carrier. Shocked, I called my insurance and they informed me that insurance was just taken out on her by her BF and I would need to get this information from him before my insurance would even consider paying. I FINALLY located his parents and they contacted him for me. He mailed the insurance card to his mother to mail to me, (he obviously didn't want me to know where he lives) and only gave me his email address to contact him with questions about the insurance. Now, her doctor is saying they need his SS# etc.. in order to file the insurance. I emailed him for this and of course, he wouldn't give it to me. He said he would call the doctor himself. So, selfish as it may be, my husband and I have taken care of her just fine without him, now I am having to go through him to take my daughter to the doctor? He has paid child support all these years, but has not once contacted her. My current husband has taken over the role as her father and has done a great job. They love each other dearly. I guess all this has got me worried! Because there is a court order for child support AND visitation, what happens if he decides to arrange a visit with her? How can I let me daughter go off with this total stranger? Doesn't she have any rights? My husband is the only father she has ever known, she barely remembers her visits with her BF. What I can do for my daughter if the situation should arise?
