My divorce agreement states that any unpaid bills by my insurance for my child will be split between me and the ex. She has been very sick lately and I am sure besides the $150 bill I got today there will be others. I have no communication between me and the ex, so usually I mail a letter certified stating he should pay what half- he usually either does not respond or does nto even accet a certified letter from me. But I am really getting upset that I have all the financial responsibility for her - so shoudl I mail the bills to him? My father said "whats the point? it is only going to get him startedon his usual verbal rampage" and he is probably not going to contribute anyways. |

Of course you should mail a copy, along with a statement asking for 50% reimbursement. This creates a paper trail. If you go to court, you show, via certified mail, that you sent copies of the bills, you asked for reimbursement, and you received nothing. You need the paper trail. |

Great advice!! When things like that come up I always ask but expect nothing. Then once in awhile I'm pleasantly surprised, but usually get no help. |

I have a paper trail for *everything*. I keep a daily journal, mention anything that happens or doesn't happen. Any scrap of paper I get, I keep. If it's documentation that has to be completed and sent somewhere, I keep a copy of what I filled in. I even have a list of what schoolwork has been sent to his house and what I've kept. And don't get me started on the "verbal rampage" part. That's harassment, and if it happens, especially in public, file a restraint against that behavior. You can even file for harassment for *email* abuse - calling you names, anything that is obviously over the top. |
