Q: Uninsured Medical
My order is written that the custodial parent is to send any uninsured medical receipts to me within 2 months of service. If i receive receipts later than 2 months of the service date, I may reimburse when I am able. My question, are there any case laws showing that if receipts are sent late one is no longer obligated to pay? This happens routinely and when i exercise my right pertaining to the order I get harassed. I would like to resolve this in family court but I'd like to have solid information to get the language changed. TY
A: The order as you recite it speaks for itself, the debt is still owed. If this has demonstrated to be a hardship you think the court would buy, then you and your attorney should seek modification of the order that late notice relieves you of the debt.
