Q: I’m confused my ex pays child support for our daughter but then I want to know if the medical bills are separate?
For an example if I have like a six or $700 bill for my daughter from her doctor do me and him have to pay half of that or does it come out of the child support that he gives me for our child like it’s so confusing I know he pays child support for our daughter I just want to know if we get like a medical bill do we have to both pay that separately from the child support ?
A: Who is liable for medical bills--or any other unexpected expenses--should be explained in the divorce papers or the child support agreement you signed.
