Is my ex supposed to pay for child's braces?

Question

On my stipulation it stays that my ex is supposed to pay 100% of what the insurance company doesn't pay out in health care. Does that include dental? When I asked my ex to pay for child's braces, he refused stating he does not have to pay. Is this true? Isn't health care dental also?

Answer 1

NO, You are suppose to pay.Sorry but that is what child support is, Its for the child not you.

Answer 2

I don't think so because braces are cosmetics.

Answer 3

Health care and dental are generally considered separate.  I wouldn't be surprised if you were intentionally led to believe during the divorce that dental would be included, even though it wasn't the case.
