Re: Can't get ex to help pay for braces.

Wow I didn't realize this. Our paperwork does not say it has to be an emergency or anything it just says orthodontia and anything listed under IRS 1987 section 213. I guess I will get a report to convince him and we'll go from there.
Also, can someone read this part of how much medical he needs to cover? there is a sentence about me paying the first $100 that I don't quite understand:
"Heath Care Costs: The cost of a health benefit plan covering the children shall be paid by the mother. The parent providing the health benefit plan shall provide the other parent an insurance ID. All health expenses incurred on behalf of the children and not paid by the health benefit plan shall be paid 50% by father and 50% by mother. Unless both parties have agreed to use a health care provider that is not covered by the health plan, if a parent incurs an expense to a provider that is not covered by the plan that would have been covered, or covered at a more favorable rate, if a provider included in the plan had been used, then that parent shall pay 75% and the other parent 25% of the uncovered expenses. Provided however, mother shall pay one hundred percent of the first $100 of health care expenses per year per child. Health care expenses shall be defined in accordance with IRS code (1987) 213....... etc."
What is the $100? Is that just if I pick a provider outside our plan? My daughters insurance is through my husbands job and we pay the premiums out of his check. Thanks for any insight.
