My question involves child support in the State of: Utah
A month ago my step-child had to make a trip to the emergency room, resulting in a bill close to $1,000. Her mother is/was using a state funded medical insurance.
Back in February, we offered to put the children on my medical insurance - That she turned down because she just got them on medicade, even though it was (and still is) illegal for her to do because she was offered insurance for them.
IF she would of let us put her children on my insurance, the bill would of been less then $50. Now due to this large bill of $1000, she wants us to pay for half AND put the kids on my insurance.
I have no issues adding the kids to my insurance, in fact I'm glad they'll be on it because it's much better coverage. I'm just curious if we can actually be held accountable for half of the bill, when we offered her better coverage and she chose to turn it down ?
