My question involves child support in the State of: Texas
I would like to know why the child support office cannot collect medical support that I paid that was over the amount that the non-custodial father is actually paying? I was told that I needed to hire an attorney to do this. Whenever the medical premiums increased, I would faithfully call the child support office and let them know and I have been repeated told that it was not enough to modify. I would call the first of every year because that is when the new premiums begin. This has been going on since 1999. Now that we are back in court, the child support office has asked me to given them all the non-reimbursable expenses that I have paid--co-payments, medications, dental bills, etc. I have provided 15 years of receipts for all of that and they are going to get the non-custodial parent to pay his portion. If they can go back 15 years for those expenses, then why can't they request for the medical premiums that I paid that was not covered by the previous order. In the previous order (2000), he was order to pay $68 a month, $816 a year. To date, I am paying $294.11 a month for the children, $3,529.32. I am carrying the medical support because he refuses keep them insured. Why can't the child support office get the money that is owed to me?
