A few questions:

A) Where are you located?
B) Can you define "medical support" for us?
C) Does your ex have medical insurance for the child(ren) also? Are there any balances left on the bills after the insurance has been billed?

I reside in Texas, decree states children must have health insurance by law , which they do I am in the military so they have always been covered. iif I'm not mistaken my ex is been under medicaid/chips for ever which costs her no more than 10$ mo. There is no need for that since they are covered my military insurance.regardless I'm having tp pay 114$(medical support) + child support. On top of that I pay 197$ in insurance premiums mo. Why should I pay this. To make matters worse she does not use the military insurance nor aknowledge it. No there is o outstanding bills/balances.. what is fair? I have remarried and have two other children to support.

Was she receiving Medicaid at the time that your current order was entered into the court?

I'm still failing to understand what you mean by "medical support." Is one of the children chronically ill that they have excessive bills, medical or otherwise, which are not covered by the insurance?

Regardless of what you feel, having secondary insurance is a great option. Whatever is not covered under the first plan is typically picked up by the second plan.

You may have to go back for a modification. Medical support is either one of 2 things.

1) Its to pay for insurance for the child. (which is already occuring)

2) To cover a medical expense not covered by insurance. (That is usually done at the time of billing and split between both parents)

Somehow this doesn't sound right and may require modification. Otherwise its allowing for a windfall at the expense of the child. The mother is the one reaping the benefit of it.

You have to pay it because you either agreed to it at the last hearing or it was ordered and you did not appeal it.

So you go back to court and ask this to be changed since you provide insurance for the children
