Can't get ex to help pay for braces.

01/01/12 10:48 PM

My daughter needs braces badly. She literally has teeth behind teeth due to how they grew in. Our dentist advised braces and this year said that she is ready to get some put on. We are in the process of looking for Orthodontists and researching prices and I advised my ex to please do that same. He responded that braces are like a breast augmentation or like liposuction and optional so if I wanted to do it I was responsible for all costs. Our paperwork specifically notes that "medical expenses" is defined as anything listed under IRS statute 1987 section 213 which I looked up and it does include braces on the list. Also, on our paperwork further down the paperwork it does specifically note "orthodontia". He thinks this means only emergency orthodontia and not "cosmetic procedures" as he calls it. How do I get him to understand braces are covered? Also, I believe my husbands insurance will cover part so that even further reduces the amount he has to cover. I'm thinking about having a lawyer type up a letter putting it in layman's terms for him. Any advice?
