I am a divorced father.
My daughter, myself, and her mother all live in Michigan, and our settlement agreement is from Michigan.
Per our custody agreement I provide child support and insurance coverage for my daughter. Child support ends at age 18 (only a very few short months away), but insurance does not technically specify an end-date.
My question is this:
My daughter has made questionable (non-medically necessary) medical decisions as a minor that her mother supports, but I do not. I refused that treatment while she's a minor, and while I am still accountable for her.
She and her mother refuse to speak to me or answer my calls. Neither have not spoken to me in several years outside of emails for additional financial assistance, and my daughter refuses any visits or interaction.
If, after my daughter turns 18, and I am no longer required by law to keep her on my insurance, nor formally required to do so per the custody settlement - would my choosing to keep her on my insurance plan beyond age 18 imply my consent and agreement for her medical decisions as a legal adult? Could keeping her on my coverage as an adult imply or impart financial liability for her medical bills to me if she defaults on them while under my insurance?
