cant get ex to pay his medical bills

05/15/11 01:17 PM

About a week ago I got an angry hate filled email from my ex.

I had about a week earlier than that sent him a short to the point (nothing nasty) email just reminding him that he owed me for medical expenses that I had paid out of pocket and mainly (and the bigger issue) that there is an outstanding debt for a medical emergency (my daughter broke her arm). I had gone in personally and paid my share when it happened over a year ago and then they tried to track him down all this time. I didnt hear anything more for almost a year to my lawyer mistakenly told me it was probably taken care of. It wasnt, and now they are coming after me for the debt. I set up a payment plan with them but I let ex know that he would not be off the hook for the debt.

In ex's ranting email (he always just gets mean and insulting when it seems he is truly in the wrong about something) I did learn that they took his tax return to pay for part of his arrears. He is so not happy about that. He then just goes on and on about how since I am getting that money- which I have not gotten yet nor heard anything about it except from him- that I should use it to pay the medical bills and leave him alone. That has not set well with me all this time. That he thinks he can bully me into just paying his court ordered share of things and that I will just pay it to keep him from calling me names or harrassing me.

I didnt send anything back since I dont try and respond to the mean emails, but now I am worried that my silence is an unspoken agreement to just go ahead and pay the medical bills and never hold him accountable. Once I pay these bills, I will have paid out over 3000.00 in medical expenses over the last few years.

I am researching how to file a sum certain which makes me nervous. He tends to really put alot of stress on the kids about court. I have never taken him to court for any reason but he has a few times and although he lost in the months in between it was very stressful on the kids and myself. Im wondering if I should at least email him letting him know that I will not use any arrears to pay his bills. I even thought about sending his email to his parents (our families were close growing up) to see if they will help me somehow. I just hate this whole thing and I hate stressing about it. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
