If it (the bill) was addressed to her at the JC address, is it legal for him to open it and use it in this way?
Absolutely NOT.
I doubt her vigilance ever lowered very much. For me, I am 4 years out and I am still vigilant. The sight of a vehicle that looks like his is a huge trigger. I feel I have to keep tabs on places he might be and am constantly evaluating any information I may have to guess when he may pop up. To prepare myself. She was out of the house long enough to get a clear perspective of who he really is. When mine left, I was able to add things up pretty quick. I was married for my money though on a very small scale in comparison to JD. I was also not the first one he married for money. The lies were stunning. He took my financial security but was unable to get the house. The only way he could have gotten it was if I died before the divorce was final. And he did not want the divorce even though he wanted nothing to do with me. I'm pretty sure I was supposed to die a couple times. Once on a trip that we never took to a remote location and another time involving a gun. I also am still dealing with the smear campaign similar to the stuff his lawyer is saying about her. I know his type well. It is so scary.
That being said, JD had so much money. I don't think it was wise asking for him to pay a $14000 medical bill. In her shoes, I just would have gotten my own insurance. Yes, he should have kept the insurance but these people like him have no sense of fairness. It doesn't matter what you have done for them or how good of a spouse, when you are standing in the way of their good time, they are done with you in every way and hate you because they are not getting away Scot-free. I feel like her divorce lawyer was not very smart letting things drag out. With these sociopathic people, do not try to win or get them to pay. Cutting your losses is actually a win. Just to be clear, JD is most definitely a victim and it is all on FD for what happened and I know she deserved none of what happened.
The Only hold up with the Divorce, is the Welfare and the Custody of the Children.
It is not about the money.
They are both seeking Full Custody.
She was doing every thing she could to protect them and get full custody and therefore Finalize the Divorce.
Yes, she is the one with the Most money, and had she not had children, let alone 5 children with FD, she Could and Would just, walk away.
I am Positive, that if the court would grant her Full Custody and let her 'walk away With the children', she would not walk, she would RUN.
The Judge ordered that FD Continue with the 'Current' Family Insurance he was Already providing.
Nine months into their separation, FD stopped paying the Premiums and JD says in court, that she is unable to take the 'children' to their appointments.
FD Let the Policy Lapse, without telling anyone so that he could 'Stick It' to JD and then tells the Judge that JD can 'Pay out of Pocket' for the Children.
You would think that a man who so 'loves' his children and wants the 'very best' for them, would abide by the court order and Provide his children with healthcare coverage.
He just Proved his lack of concern for the children.
He just Proved his need for Revenge was more important than the children.
Who does that? A self centered, egotistical man/child who wants his cake and eat it too.
He is more concerned about 'sticking it' to JD that he actually proves that He is the Unfit Parent, by his actions.
She was then able to use his stupidity against him in court, showing that He does Not have the children's best interest at heart.
Assuming that JD was Already included in the 'Current' Family Plan, she too would have continued to be covered.
Nowhere in the court documents, does She say anything about coverage on herself.
I am sure that if she had known he would 'Disobey' (FD is a man/child, so I can use Disobey) a Direct Court Order, she would have provided the insurance for her and the children.
NP is looking for ways to discredit JD, in Every Way Possible.
He is grasping at straws and trying to 'Taint' the Jury Pool in advance of The trial.
Healthcare charges are tremendously Inflated in relation to what the Insurance Companies will actually contract to pay.
People Without Insurance are then Required to pay the Full Amount Charged instead of the 'Contracted' amount the Insurance Companies pay.
My husband had a change in employment with a subsequent change in healthcare coverage.
He went to his primary care physician for his annual physical.
No problem there. We knew the Physician was part of our new Health Plan and there would only be the Co-Pay.
Unbeknown to us, the Lab our physician uses, is not In-House and is Not contracted with our 'New' Health Plan.
$7,649.27 later, we were paying the FULL Amount Charged for the Lab Work, as though we were without healthcare coverage.
As for the $14, 000.00? NP is using this to Spin his crazy narrative, that something must be 'Wrong' with JD for her lab work to be so expensive.
NP does not volunteer when this EOB was received.
Was it Before or After FD stopped paying for the 'Current' Family Insurance?
He does not volunteer the information on whether this was Before or After the Insurance Contracted Rate was applied.
Yes, a Very
Complete Lab Workup is very expensive, depending on the specific issues at hand.
The Court has given FD, Two Years to provide his Accurate Financials to the Court and by his lack of submitting the documentation, he is refusing to abide by the Court Order.
He thinks he is above the Court and apparently the Law.
