Hi All,

I'm looking for some advice regarding expenses in addition to health insurance. Here's the scenario:

My friend pays child support and health insurance for his two kids. Recently his ex has stopped paying any medical expenses that are not covered by the health insurance. One bill is over $100.00. In the past she would pay the co-pays. The agreement they have in place only says that he must provide health insurance. He thinks that the bills should be paid with the child support money as many other expenses are. He's concerned that if he pays one bill then she'll start trying to get him to pay other bills as well. She just hands him the bill when he picks up the kids and shuts the door in his face. It's not likely that they will work this out themselves through talking. Does anyone have experience in this matter?

From the Mass. CS guidelines

2) Routine Uninsured Medical and Dental Expenses



The custodial parent shall be responsible for the payment of the first $100 per child per year for routine uninsured medical and dental expenses. For amounts above that limit, the court shall allocate costs on a case by case basis. No reduction in the child support order should be allowed.
