I am currently paying child support to my ex wife for our daughter and also providing health coverage to my daughter as well. Am I responsible to pay for the co payments as well or is my ex wife responsible?

This definitely depends on your divorce agreement and is not typically an insurance related question. My GUESS and only a GUESS is that you are responsible to pay a set amount to her for maintenance and child support along with providing benefits. If that's the case then she SHOULD be responsible for making the copay's, but again this is only a guess. For the ultimate answer you should review the divorce agreement or speak to your attorney.

Sounds like you're already doing a lot. If your ex wife is in no position financially to pay it, then i would pay it, since she is your daughter. However, if your ex-wife is financially capable, then she should contribute as well. Maybe 50/50?

That's generally spelled out in the divorce decree - take a look at your documents, and see what it says. Quite often, the parents are required to split medical expenses that are left after insurance. You need to look at the copy of your divorce decree to know exactly what your obligations are in this regard. (Note - if your daughter really needs something that her mother can't provide, that doesn't mean that you can't provide it if you are willing/able. But, the divorce decree should spell out exactly what you're required to provide under the law.)

You'd have to look at the support agreement to find out. Most of the time, any uninsured health costs, including copays and deductibles, are equally split between the two parents. Child support is NOT health copay or coverage. The health is totally seperate from support.

I would read your court order. I would assume; No tho ... Co-Payments are not your responsibility ... as that expense should be factor in to the amount of child support you pay monthly. Hopefully you and the ex, can work out it, so everyone is paying about equal ... and hopefully she will make sure time and holidays are spent equally with you as well as her. Good Luck !! :-)

Seriously? How do you think your daughter feels when you asks questions like that? If your daughter needs medical care, pay the copayments. If your exwife volunteers, thats great, but the damage you will do to your daughter by even questioning paying for it would be unforgivable. Just pay it.

It will depend upon your child support order or divorce and custody agreements. My ex provided child care and insurance premiums but I paid the co-pay as it was NOT expressively written in any of the above court documents. Read your orders.

It depends on what your divorce decree states. From the doctor's office standpoint, the parent who seeks care is the one who pays the copay at the time of service, but there are cases where it's written into the divorce and custody agreement that one parent is responsible no matter what. If it's not already written in, put it in there ASAP.
