Dear mtomchin:

Greetings. I don’t know. It depends on what your child support order/agreement states. Thank you.

The response posted above is based upon the limited factual information made available and is not intended as a full and complete response to the question. The only reliable manner to obtain complete and adequate legal advice is to consult with an attorney, fully explain your situation, and allow the attorney sufficient opportunity to research the applicable law and facts required to render an accurate opinion. The basic information provided above is intended as a public service but a full discussion with an attorney should be undertaken before taking any action.

My kids have been recommended for braces for cosmetic reasons. My finances are currently strained and can’t fund the expense at the moment. Their father is extrememly wealthly (earns $700k+ annually). Am I legally obligated to contribute to this Elective Procedure. My ex-husband is demanding my financial participation or he will engage the courts.
