What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? IL
My divorce decree states I am to pay half of medical including orthodontic expenses. My ex decided to get invisalign for my son, which are not medically necessary, without my knowledge. She is now saying I owe her half the cost. My question is, since these were not medically necessary and I was not told until months after the fact, do I still need to pay half? She was also told to go to a doctor that accepts my insurance which once again she did not, although there are several in her area. Funny thing is she is trying to make me pay half of the total monthly bill, although my insurance is paying half the bill she doesn't realize I get the insurance paperwork.
