Q: My ex is remarrying. I pay the family health insurance. He pays child support below what state would have him pay.
Child support covers his portion of the family health insurance. He needs to be removed from my health insurance. Does his child support change? He still has to pay 1/2 family insurance for our 2 kids.
A: You have not stated why he needs to be removed from your health insurance- does he have other medical coverage opportunities? What does your divorce/separation agreement state about providing coverage and allocation of cost? There are also new child support guidelines which went into effect in September, so it would be prudent to run them and If there is a material change in the weekly support then a Modification could be pursued, but consult with counsel first.
