Alger, MI Divorce Law Firms & Lawyers

You're correct course of action would be to file a motion seeking enforcement of the child support order. If your ex has some excuse why he is not making the payments, I suspect you'll find that out then.

One spouse cannot usually remove the other spouse from health insurance maintained through their employment during the pendency of a divorce. However, insurance carriers may allow changes to coverage during periods of open enrollment, and the companies may not require proof of a divorce to make the change. Your sister should have the issue addressed in a temporary order to avoid that possible problem. You are correct that once a decree is entered, your sister's health insurance will terminate. She can apply for and obtain coverage for a limited time through COBRA but that can be expensive. The increased cost of health insurance on the private market would be a factor for the court to consider in awarding alimony to your sister. Your sister may also qualify for medicaid or other insurance coverage for her condition based on her disability.
