Q: mother failing to split 50/50 ot of medically needed glasses
I have a 50/50 split custody agreement with my ex amanda for our daughter. In the papers it states that out of pocket medical expenses are to be paid 50/50. My daughter broke her glasses and i got an estimate for a new pair and mom is refusing to pay half as my daughter broke them at my house. She said she has extra pairs and that she will not allow my daughter to wear them at my house. Papers state 50/50 for glasses. She is refusing to pay half and refusing to allow my daughter to wear her glasses at my house. These are medically needed. what is your advice?
A: First, you should just pay for the glasses. Second, you need to decide if it is worthwhile to go back to court to try and collect her half. Speak with a local family lawyer for more specific advice.
