My DH is ordered to pay 64% of his kids medical bills. That is not the problem. The problem is:
1. BM waits 6 to 8 months before sending us the bills and wants immediate payment
2. Most times the bills are doubles
3. She wont respond to questions we ask
4. The parenting agreement states they BOTH have equal say to the all things regarding the children. (they have joint 50/50 in everything including visit).
5. She refuses to buy generics when possible, so much so that on one medication the bill is $45 instead of $4 every month for all three children! That's 45 EACH when it could only be 4. We even we so far as for the doctor to write a letter stating the generics were available and to ONLY fill the generics. We have been battling this for 4 years and she just refuses to buy the generics. When we go to fill the scripts we are told she has already filled them.
6. she refuses to tell us when the kids have appointments even though the agreement states she must.
7. The kids NEVER come with their meds and she will not bring them to us. Each child is on at least 3 meds a month for asthma. She has 4 inside cats, a dog and a smoker living with her. We have NONE and yet this is what the children are allergic to. Our attorney says that's not against the law and we still have to pay.

The problem is we are racking up medical bills that we cannot pay because she waits so long to give them to us and now we received a letter from her attorney that says she wont cash our last check for the bills because we put in a notation that the bill was paid in full. We did however only pay the generic cost of the meds instead of her bill. We told her time and time again about these issues and she refuses to do anything about them, just keeps sending bills (of course 6 months late and with no explanations). Some of the bills we think are hers because they don't have a specific childs name on them and she goes to the same doctor as them. When asked she wont answer.

What can we do? We already owe an enormous amount of child support every month 1,000 for three children that we have 50% of the time and do all the transporting for 5 days a week to and from school because she refuses to. We travel 90 miles a day when school is in to have our two teens go to early college. She wont transport and says the only way they can go is if we go 45 miles to her house on her days, pick them up and bring them all the way back to our county (where they go to school). Then we have to go and take the youngest on the off days to school in her county. It's killing us!!!!!!!! We do the transportation because the kids deserve a better education but with all the medical bills, child support and gas I don't know how to continue. Child support modification is in Jan and she has told the children that she plans on holding DH in contempt for no payment of medical bills!!!!!!!!!
