Divorce Support Forums: Health ins. for child by step-parent

New set of problems with my children's insurance. There stepmother has changed jobs now and is covering the children and their father again under her policy. Now I'm getting notices from their physicians of the insurance not paying. The insurance companies are asking for our divorce decree as well. My ex says all is fine and they checked on everything. But, my attorney said that it isn't fine and that with the majority of insurances a step parent can not insure step children that do not live with them. I just don't know what the right answer is, but am tired of explaining this over and over to their physicians. My ex will not provide them with any answers, and of course it isn't my insurance so I can't do a thing about looking into it myself.

My only worry is that because I take them to the doctor...I am considered responsible party. So, if the insurance doesn't pay I then have to pay, and then try to fight and get it out of my ex. I really don't want to fight that battle, but who would right?

I'd appreciate any advice.
