Q: Is it a breach of contract if the custodial parent moves the children to a different medical insurance without notice?
From the Final Decree: The court finds that Health and Dental Insurance for the children is available at a reasonable cost to the Father....
If, at some point in the future, the Mother becomes eligible for insurance and wants to move the Children to her policy and Father agrees, Father shall be responsible for 50% of the cost of insurance; Father may refuse to transfer the Children to Mother's policy if his portion of the cost of such policy exceeds the premium he then is paying for comparable coverage through his employer.
Today: I discovered, the Mother now has free insurance for the children. She switched the kids over to the new policy 2 years ago. However, I've been paying about $450 per month. Which means, I'm paying $450 for no reason. Is this willingly breaching a contract with the intent to cause financial harm? Or, what would be the outcome of this? State of Virginia
A: I do not handle divorce or child custody cases. Sorry.
