Divorce decree addendum stated that she would pay me the difference if there was an additional cost to cover her. To date she has never paid me and being on the family plan, that is significant $$$. The kids have their own coverage (27 & 25 yrs old) and with my open enrollment coming in Nov. I have to make a choice to discontinue her coverage as of 12/31/09 and let her take me to court, or for me to get counsel and show that she has not fulfilled the terms of the agreement and any further coverage should be terminated year-end. If I am forced to continue coverage, some mechanism should be put in place to insure payment from her so she does not get a free ride like she has the last 15+ yrs. She is self-employed and has not re-married and no plans to do so. ..Please help!!..Thanks

I will assume this is a Massachusetts divorce. You did not say whether you ever notified her of the cost for her coverage. Also, was there any extra cost for your former wife while you still carried a plan covering your children? It would be wise to file approporiate proceedings in court and let the court make the decision as to how much she owes you and what the mechanism will be for reimbursement of the cost of future coverage, rather than just drop her coverage and possibly find yourself in contempt. You should probably seek help from an attorney.
