Thread: XH got laid off!

I've been divorced 2 years. Our girls are 19 and 22 and both in college. Part of our divorce decree was that XH would be responsible for health insurance for the girls until they were no longer able to be covered (23 yo if still in school). It is his only responsibility. I pay the copays, deductible, tuitions. books, etc. He pays $85/mo for "child support" while I then pay HIM $85/mo for my vehicle (long story). So technically...

If it's in the decree that he pays for the insurance, getting laid off doesn't relieve him of that obligation.? $65/week isn't really that much, given that both he and his GF will be getting unemployment and he has (I assume) money left over from your divorce.? Stand your ground and see what he says.? It could be that he's just hoping you'll roll over with his "It's not my fault" sob story. Trisha

Take him to court if he drops the girls. That is his responsibility. When you divorced him, his problems ceased to be yours and he's trying to make this your problem. He gets COBRA coverage from his employer, that is law. If he does not cover the girls, he is in violation of a court order. That is his problem, not yours.
