Thank you for your post. Not sure this would be the case as he has failed to provide ordered medical support accessability not just for a few years, but for all years of kids' life. Therefore, no reasonable parent is going to sign an IRS form 8332, when they (custodial parent) are footing all costs including medical, dental, and majority of support. When support order was originially established, I am certain that the district court judge felt that the NCP would bear his weight in this respect. There was no way of knowing that I would have had to subsequently go back into court, when monetary monthly support was not paid, and he was held in contempt, and was sternly warned and hit with a suspended jail sentence, and simultaneosly hit with a wage withholding order. At this point and time, they did not just automatically assign wage withholding, as they did once give one a chance to pay without it, which he failed to do.

Yet, he has not ever pulled his weight in respect to the Court order on Medical...it is not even a case of seldom. WY statutes state:

(d)� The court may hold an obligated parent in contempt for refusing to provide the ordered insurance, or for failing or refusing to provide the information required in subsections (b) and (c) of this section.

(e)� In addition to enforcement by contempt, as provided for in subsection (d) of this section, the obligated parent is liable to the other parent, any person or agency for:

(i)� Part or all of the cost of medical care and medical insurance premiums paid or provided to a child for any period in which the obligated parent failed to provide required coverage;

(ii)� Any direct insurance benefits received by the obligated parent and not used for the medical care of the child; and

(iii)� Any reasonable attorney fees and costs incurred in collection that the court may determine appropriate

I believe when it comes right down to it, a judge will signify more imporatance of minor CHILDREN having access to decent medical and dental care, than which PARENT takes a yearly tax exemption. Balance wise, that just doesn't weigh well.

We shall see.
