6/20/2000 My ex emails me, "You need to resend copies of the girls social security cards. The one's you just sent are not readable. 6/21/2000 My ex emails me again, "We can't read any of the numbers, you need to recopy and resend. Rosemary's insurance requires copies of their birth certificate and social security cards because they are her step children not her natural children and because they do not live with us. When I get these so they are readable then I will get a book of doctors for your area and you will have to choose a primary care physician. This coverage will cover dental, medical and eye care. To use any of these it appears you need to go through the primary care doctor for a referral."

I respond, "I've never had to make copies of stepkids ss card for Mark's insurance, or on my insurance for my stepkids in all these years.

Here's their #'s. If you still need copies Friday, let me know." 

 

Note: I've shared with him over and over that our HMO's co-pays won't be paid by his wife's insurance, and that it's orthodontic insurance we need.  My husband's dental covers the majority of the girls' dental bills. My ex's past job had orthodontic insurance. His wife's dental won't cover orthodontic.  He's not paying his share of the monthly orthodontic bills that aren't covered by insurance.   

I keep remembering the years he neglected the kids, I didn't have insurance for them, and I had to pay full price for each visit to the clinic when they got sick over and over again over a period of time. I asked him for help - he coldly refused.  Then my health and dental insurance covered kids and eventually stepkids, until I retired '98 to be a full-time mom (on DA financials I just put the last salary I made, $24,000. I'm not trying to make my ex make up the difference of my salary since I'm the one who chose stay home.) 

My ex keeps breaking his arm patting himself on the back that his wife is getting health and dental insurance for the kids while he continues to be unemployed.  

 

6/21/2000 My ex emails me, "Why is this so hard? They said they require copies. Is it possible to [get] readable copies so I can get them on the Ins." 

I respond, "Exactly. Why is this so hard? Give me the name and phone # [of who to talk to]. We never had a problem before with just giving the SS#s."

My ex doesn't respond.

 

9/2/2000 My girls return from 4 weeks at their dad's. Our 15yo had taken her social security card in order to get her learner's permit while at her dad's cuz she'd finished driver's training class the day before leaving for her dads. He doesn't make a copy of her ss card.  He never takes her driving.

His wife didn't get dental insurance. It was "too expensive". 9/5/2000 I learn our 12yo has to have oral surgery.  He won't be helping with that expense.

"All of the monies for child support as of now are up to date except maybe 450.00. The deductions were paid current through the end of Feb. and the government took another $2800.00 that cleared all back debt plus the $147 that has been coming out of the unemployment check every month leaves an amount around $3250.00 that has been paid against child support since the end of Feb. against an amount of $3464.00 for the same time period. Difference stilled owed to bring it current would be about $468.00. But of course the case has been closed in Orange County and won’t be opened for about 30 to 90 days while it is all being transferred to LA (??) so nobody knows anything until then."
