Question Re Insurance/Medicare

Job loss is a valid reason for inability to provide insurance. Inability to comply with a court order due to something beyond your control is never penalized by court. Have the required documentation including termination letter, payslip, exit checklist and employer reference. Let her provide insurance

the decree says you need to get health insurance once you no longer have employer insurance you are in violation of the decree (so [pay attention please] you are in effect in contempt of FAMILY COURT where your decree was signed off on)

In a practical sense this is somewhat bad.

In most decrees the boilerplate is "health insurance" which means that YES if you no longer have health insurance you should go on the health insurance gov site and buy "health insurance for your kids" you can get the cheapest plan out there if you want... because that is "health insurance"

If it was me I would get on the site and sign up your kids for the cheapest plan and then you are in compliance from the FAMILY COURT who is enforcing the decree.

Do not go on medicare/medicaid (btw medicare is for 62 and older people, medicaid is for poor people just so you know)

Anyway just buy a policy if you don't get another job with healthcare.

Something similar happened to me once when my son was about 3. Got him and me enrolled in a state insurance plan (this was prior to the ACA) due to job loss. Also got food stamps and unemployment benefits.

Had a new job with insurance in about 6 months. I reported that chance but the state let me stay on the insurance and food stamp programs for about 6 more months. That wasn’t bad. I just saved as much $ as I could in the meantime.

The court only cares that the state not be liable for your kids.

So you can file with the court that there is a material change in life circumstance and spousal and child support agreements need to be re-evaluated. If she's willing to take it on, great. Just get it filed with the court

I'm not sure what she's talking about with insurance fraud... your income situation is your income situation (unless you lie about it). The obligation is yours.

That being said, if she puts in writing that she'll put the kids on her insurance, that's not a violation of court orders, that's an agreement but it could open the door to asking for more child support as insurance costs are usually part of the calculator (but that's kinda pointless in short term being unemployed).

She may think its a violation, but that's an offer and agreement based on a change of life circumstances. If you want full protection, have lawyers make it an agreement.
