Re: Child Support vs Visitation
|
"I don't think you could get children's Medicaid if he is court ordered to have insurance. "
This may vary from state to state, but this would be incorrect for where I live.
--------------------
The OP mentioned "chip" which to me sounds like a state funded program, Medicaid is a federal funded program and would not vary state to state. In NY- we have something called "Child Health Plus" and you DO NOT qualify if the child(ren) in question have any existing insurance.
I think the BIGGEST question here is WHAT DOES the CO state? What does the CO state in regards to visitation? Transportation? Costs associated with both? Is it CO'ed that he pay a certain percentage of uncovered medical and dental?
If he is $11k behind in CS I would seek help from your local CSEU to obtain CS on a regular basis. If he has a job, no reason why CS cannot be garnished from his wages- current and arrears.
As for transportation if there is NOTHING in the CO then didn't YOU start a "status quo" by meeting your X halfway?
