Question..if the bill is in the other parents name then technically they are 100% responsible for the bill in the eyes of the invoicer ~ so why don't you pay the parent your half of the bill BUT make sure you make a copy of the check before mailing it to the other parent and then get a copy from your bank as proof that the other parent received the money. After that who cares how they spend that money!?!? You have proof that you paid and that they received the money. If they decide to go on a shopping spree then they are the ones that will have to come up with the money when the insurance money comes looking for it. You already paid your share.

My son's father refuses to pay his court ordered half but since I can't tell the medical billers to get the other half from him I pay the whole thing and when his share of the money comes in then I will spend it on stuff that I couldn't spend the money on when I was having to pay the whole bill myself.

I hope that helps.

My friend's ex's ex is taking him back to court and in looking for info about "Order of Stay". I googled it but not much info came up. Has anyone ever heard of it? She thinks it means that the kids will stay where they are until the upcoming custody case?????

Thanks

As much as this sucks now *trust me, if you think it sucks now just wait, it gets worse* it does all come out in the end. My friend, a girl, was stuck with the mortgage, utilites (while she let him live in the house rent and utilties free), racking up alot of the cell bill and on her fast pass account, fast forward almost a year and she got all her money back + some. He didn't help her pay for anything during the separation but she documented everything that was marital debt and he now owes her over $30,000 (which she will never see even though it is court ordered). It took over a year for her to get it and it ruined her credit but in the end he got what was coming to him.

Be very anal about your documentation and have back up (copies of bills) for EVERYTHING you are claiming. I know you have a lawyer but you still have to do everything yourself - make an excel spreadsheet of what is owed, what you have been paying in the martial debt. AND CANCEL ALL YOUR CREDIT CARDS with her name on them

Good luck - it is a bumpy road from here on out!!!
