I have to take my ex to court and I am nervous. Can Anyone tell me what to expect?

I have to take my ex back to court because he technically contempt of court. Per our divorce decree he is to keep our kids covered under medical/dental insurance until they are 19. He recently quit his job with full benefits to take a job that does not have any medical or dental coverage. He says he cannot afford to pay COBRA. He has it is his head that a judge is just going to say "Oh well" because he isn't going to cover them, but I am praying that it isnt the case. I dont have insurance of my own, I am on Medical Assistance and am trying to get my kids on there as well, but I just dont think it's fair that he can just get off scott free. We havent been to court since the day our divorce was finalized so I am a little nervous.





Any advice you have will be helpful.

The judge will review both of your incomes and recommend an order. The order will require one of you, depending on the income in balance, that insurance will need to be acquired in x amount of days for the children.
Reply:wow thats harsh i mean he should pay its not your falt he lost his job he needs 2 suport his kids tell the judge that !!!!!!!!
Reply:Yea it sucks, but unless you get a really awesome judge, he might get off and if he is paying you child support, it might be reduced.
Reply:The a-- who fathered my sisters kids had a order put on him to pay support and medical insurance. The judge did not let him make excuses about not being able to afford it. He will lose his drivers license if he doesn't keep his current. I don't know what the law is in your state but they are taking things very serious in support cases these days its not just your job to make sure the kids are taken care of.
