What to do if my ex was ordered to provide health insurance and pay 50% of medical bills but has not done so?
I was granted a divorce 13 years ago. I have always provided the health insurance. I have hand delievered, discussed on phone and sent the medical bills yearly by certified mail. Do you file contempt or file a small claims action? Where would jurisdiction be where the ex provides or children? We live in a different county than where the original divorce action was filed.

If your "ex" has failed to comply with the court order that you have written about, I would write him a demand letter for cpmpliance by a certain date. Keep a copy for future use and need. If there is no compliance, your legal recourse would be to file a petition for an order to show cause for contempt of the court order in the court where the order you have written about was issued.
I would consult with a family law attorney for help regarding such.
