My jurisdiction is: Finalized in WA, now living in OR
I was hoping that someone could help me understand just what exactly this section of my divorce decree means...this is from the Order of Child Support forms, final order:
3.18 Medical Insurance for the Children Listed in Paragraph 3.1
Unless one or more of the alternatives below are checked, each parent shall maintain or provide health insurance coverage if:
(a) Coverage that can be extended to cover the child(ren) is or becomes available to each parent through employment or is union-related.
(b) The cost of such coverage for the mother does not exceed $56.69 (25 percent of mother's basic child support obligation on Worksheet line 7), and the cost of such coverage for the father does not exceed $99.05 (25 percent of father's basic child support obligation on Worksheet line).
[X] Alternative 1: The parent below shall maintain or provide health insruance coverage that can be extended to cover the child(ren) is or becomes available to that parent through employment or is union-related and the cost of such coverage does not exceed $99.05 (25 percent of that parent's basic child support obligation of Worksheet line 7).
[] Mother
[X] Father
I am the mother of the child and have custody...according to the father, the health insurance offered by his employer well exceeds the $99.05 listed above. And so he has refused to insure her. The health insurance offered by my employer also well exceeds the $99.05 by about $100.
Since the divorce has been finalized, my daughter and myself have been covered by my mom's health insurance. That will be terminated at the end of this month because I am not at the age limit where I can no longer be consider a dependant. Therefore; I have no choice but to sign up for health insurance with my employer which will cost me an extra $400/month because I myself have to be signed up in order for my daughter to be insured.
My daughter has special needs and has a pre-existing condition, otherwise I would sign her up for an individual plan...we do not qualify for state assistance because I make "too much" money, although not enough to pay for my employer's health insurance.
Basically I need to understand if the father is in anyway responsible for any health insurance costs based on the paragraphs above.
Thank you.
