What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Florida
Seperated from the ex-wife in January '07 in South Carolina. We had a decree of seperate maintenance which said what each of us was responsible for. Part of my responsibility was to cover her on insurance for a year (which is the amount of time you must be seperated in SC before the divorce is final). I moved to Florida a few months later and she to Ky. When February came around in '08, I called her and told her that she had been on my insurance for over the 12 months and that she would need to get her own because I had fulfilled my obligation. She agreed and got insurance through her new job. I found out soon after that since neither of us was a resident of SC, our divorce could not be finalized there, and I had to file for divorce in Florida. She signed the paperwork and our divorce was granted in July, '08. I have since re-married and picked up my wife and two step-children on my insurance. My ex-wife feels I should be responsible for ther medical bills from Feb (when I dropped her from the policy) and July, when it seems our divorce was actually finalized. HELP! Am I responsible for this? The paperwork that was filed in Florida and signed as the official divorce papers said nothing about that.
