What are my options with getting insurance for my kids?

That is just ridiculous. I would put the kids on your plan and just use that or go back to court and and show that he’s in contempt of court. It’s his responsibility to make sure those kids have and are able to use the insurance he is providing. If they can’t use the insurance then what’s the point? They might as well have no insurance. Put them on your plan and go back to court!

Bitch has no say so. Call the state and report it and they’ll subpoena the info.

Take him to court since his wife refuses he can pay out of pocket

I would ask a family attorney. But I believe you can take them on yours and he has to pay their portion. The new wife is being a C and is just showing her ass at the moment which in the end will cause a lot of issues between them especially if she starts treating the kids differently. Keep an eye open and talk to your kids when they come home from visitation. Don’t lead them but just ask how things were when they were there. I see a shit show about to start

Tell him then he can pay the full price of treatments then. She needs to stop acting childish.

1- add them to your plan anyway. Secondary insurance coverage is never a bad idea if it is available at an affordable rate. Especially dental.
2- not providing the information to the dental center is the same as withholding coverage. Contempt of court. Make sure he is aware of that. She isn’t required to give it directly to you, but she IS required to give it to the providers upon request, at least in my state.

The kids can usually be on both and have double coverage. My ex has to carry insurance per our divorce agreement too but my current husband has them on his insurance as well. So now they have primary and secondary health insurance including vision and dental. It is amazing! Whatever the primary doesn’t cover the secondary picks up

Then you tell him you’ll be taking him back to court. If she refuses to give pertinent information for their medical and dental needs, then it’s time to go back to court, so you can add them to yours. Someone has to have those kids on their medical…

Hie shouldn’t have switched insurance if she was going to refuse. Heck he shouldn’t have gotten married. Does he not have an insurance card? Why does she have to give her info?

Drag his ass back to court about it. He’s in violation of the agreement. Idk why everyone says you need to explain this to him…he’s a grown ass man, you don’t need to explain anything to him. Just drag him to court since he wants to let his new wife try and call the shots

I mean what info do they need from her and why is she refusing if it’s for her step children’s dental care!? If it’s preventing them to see the dentist then I would look into switching to your plan. Petty shit.

Put them on your insurance, tell him you’ll see him in court for contempt then ask the judge since this has become such an ordeal to order him to pay half of your monthly premium and half of all medical expenses

Tell your ex that he either gives you the information OR you go back to court, tell them what his wife is doing, and you’ll ask for the order to be changed so that HE PAYS for YOU to carry them.

I would just tell him since she is refusing to give the kids insurance information to you then you will be taking him back to court for contempt. Unfortunately even if you add them to yours if she doesn’t remove them you are going to keep running into trouble!! I had to go through this & the judge went OFF on him & his wife(yes she was there)!!! Told the wife directly that he would hold her in contempt with my X!! They don’t play with things like that!

My best advice is on the next open enrollment add the kids. There is nothing he can do about it. My ex hubs and his wife played a similar game…I was like nope I’ll just add them to mine.

Tell your ex that his wife needs to be able to provide the information to the medical professionals/dentists otherwise they cannot use the insurance. If she refuses to do so you have no choice but to insure them yourself and he will have to deal with that with CS. Child support will possibly try to raise his payment if he’s not providing insurance per your divorce contract. He can’t just insure them and then you not be able to use it. I would add them to your plan anyways, worst case scenario they’ll need it, best case you have a secondary for them.

Than you tell him to buy dental insurance it is his responsibility not yours . If he isn’t providing it take him into family court . While there ask for more support seeing he is acting foolish when your willing to pay yourself

you can put them on your insurance esp if she wont furnish an insurance card with the kids info which you having an insurance card is pretty standard in a divorce- review your paperwork

Both of you are allowed to have insurance on your children one is primary and the other secondary so I don’t get how there is an issue? My kids had their dad’s insurance as primary and mine as secondary so we never had copays or anything.

The courts have said HE is responsible. If they won’t cooperate, back to court you go. IF you sway on this, that may make things harder in the future, not to mention you’re going against court orders too.

Just because he has to doesn’t mean u can’t as well

He is in breach of court order. It is HIS responsibility. Not yours or his new wife’s. Take him back to court and let them explain it to him. You fighting and arguing with him about it is just another headache you don’t have to endure by any means.

Courts, generally, put health insurance requirement on the parent that has it available. If he is no longer able to provide health insurance, because he switched to his wife’s plan; his wife is not obligated to put them on hers. The fact that she won’t give her personal information is childish. However, regardless of that, if you cannot access the plan they are on, and you have it readily available, then there’s not much he can say about it. He’s probably worried about having to pay more in CS since he’s no longer providing health insurance.
I wouldn’t wait for too long. Most health insurance has a limited time for when you can qualify for a special enrollment period. Just add them. If he doesn’t like it…too bad.

Ours are carried on my exs, mine and my husband’s insurance. When carried by multiple providers it normally cancels out almost all extra (leftover after insurance pays) costs. I didn’t ask my ex, I just filled out appropriate paper work to have them added on mine and my husband’s. Even with the divorce decree stating he has to carry insurance on the kids, does not mean they can’t have multiple providers. His would just be considered the primary coverage. This is just my personal experience and I’m in the state of Alabama

The court made my ex daughter in law give my son an insurance card when she fought against it. But I would put the on your if possible

Tell that biatch to grow up.

My son had both. His father would give me a hard time on getting providers for him, so I put him on my insurance at work, health and dental. You are allowed to do that, double coverage. His dad took him off his, and was supposed to reimburse me for medical/dental. That was like pulling a tooth, but the court MADE him pay me eventually. SAVE ALL YOUR RECEIPTS IF YOU PUT HIM ON YOUR INSURANCE FOR REIMBURSEMENT. MAKE SURE YOU GO TO OR CALL THE ATTORNEY GENERAL TO LET THEM KNOW WHATS GOING ON, THEY ARE SUPPOSE TO NOTATE EVERYTHING.

If your divorce agreement states that he has to provide the insurance he is in contempt of courts by not providing you insurance information.
Go to the courts and hold him for contempt.

Why can’t he give the information to their dentist? It’s not personal information, all you should need is the name and address for the father who is financially responsible and their insurance policy, which he would have to provide to you either way.

Doctor’s office and such should already have information like that.

Just add them to yours and if it gets ugly then take it to court and :stop_sign: stop worrying about it as he’s the one at fault ! Children have to have insurance and judge will be in your side anyway! Besides you have children and that’s enough responsibility without having to deal with unnecessary stress and problems!

I see his side… he would be in contempt of court

I had my step daughter on my Tri Care and wouldn’t give my info to his ex. No way.
That said, I did call and explain the situation and told them to call me for anything they needed. When I found out his ex was lying to the state and using Medicaid, is let Tri Care sue her for repayment. :woman_shrugging: She ended up owing $250,000 bc she ran to the dr for every sneeze and cough. Even went in weekly for a broken toe when the Dr said there was nothing they could do.
So, why doesn’t she want to give it up? I had legal reasons and a history of problems but without that, this doesn’t really make sense. He shouldn’t bother switching anything if it’s a problem.

If it’s a ligel binding contract then it would need to be modified in order to put them on your Incurence. If she’s being petty then he needs to put them back on his. He would be in violation of the contract if you put them on your Incurence.

Let him keep them on the ins and let him take them the next time they need to go

Maybe it’s so the kids will go to the providers of her choice or where they go also. It could be for convenience OR it could be her just being a B ! + ( |-| which is what I would assume. :woman_shrugging: Irregardless, I think you should have a chat with your lawyer just to be safe.

He’s in contempt. Back to court. Might want to warn him that the judge typically increases his child support amounts when they switch health insurance over to the mother.

Have his spouse or him be in charge of taking the kids to the appointment so she doesn’t have to provide the information at this time and until the next court date is. Then let the court know at your next court date.

I would think that if there’s a court order that HE be responsible for insuring the children, then it has nothing to do with a third party (his wife). If he is changing policies for his own personal insurance, then he needs to still be responsible for the children’s independently of his wife. He should therefore either get new coverage for them or pay your insurance deductions. I’m no lawyer OR insurance agent but…went through a similar situation and ex had to continue same policy coverage for the children until they were either 21 or done with college.

maybe suggest that she give the dentist the information on her own. It sounds like she doesn’t want to give you the card. She can probably even call or email a copy of the card.

I carried the insurance on my step son from the time hubby and I got married until present. His doctor never needed my personal information to bill anything to our insurance other than the numbers on the card and we were not in the same state. Also you should not need to have him drop his insurance on the kids for you to add them at enrollment time each year. Mom had insurance when she worked on step son as well and there was never an issue. What our insurance didn’t cover hers did so there was no bill for visits.
