Hi,
My divorce agreement states that any extra medical costs not covered by insurance, should be split between myself and kids father. I normally pay co-pays and prescriptions without hassling my ex for small amounts. However there has been costs recently that amounts to over $500 that I have paid and want my ex to pay his 50% responsibility. He refuses to pay and says that he pays Child support and that he is not due anymore, even though I have made him aware of what the agreement states.
The question I have is, how do I go about making him pay for his half? Do I need to hire a lawyer or can I approach the court myself, which would obviously not cost as much. Someone also mentioned small claims court, is this a possibility?
Thanks for any advice.
