Yesterday he called our daughter to wish her a happy birthday and proceeded to complain to her that he had recieved the ambulance bill from when she was visiting them in April and he had to call 911 and have her transported by ambulance to the hospital cause she had a seizure (she has never been sick a day in her life before this and hasn't since then either). He is responsible for medical bills not covered by medicaid (it wasn't covered cause it was outside of Florida) and he told them to send the bill to me!! So when I got the bill and collection threats (in May not even a month later!!) I called them and told them it was his legal responsiblility so send him the bill which they did. Now he is complaining about having to pay it. I swear if our daughter had a job he would send the bill to her. The bill occured before she turned 18 so it is his to pay.

yes but it made my daughter feel like cr** and they made her feel like she was a burden to them. It is not like they are paying child support cause he quit his job when they started garnishing his wages again. He owes over $27,000.00 in child support and the hospital bills all together were over $3000.00.

My ex did something very similar to this. During a summer visit one of my daughters developed appendisitis, I had sent their insurance card with them in case of an emergancy, my ex is a lazy no good drunk that decided to quit working 22 years ago just because. I told him it was not welefare it was insurance and not to use the ER for a doctors office, and any deductables were his responiblity to keep him from misusing it. When he finally took her to the hospital because I called the law on him for ignoring how ill she was, he gave them my name as the responsible party. I told them just because I was the one with insurance did not mean that I was responsible for the bill and since I had not signed anything, I would not pay the bill. I believe in the end since it was an emergancy and was out of state the insurance ended up paying the entire bill, but my daughter never did get over the way her father behaved during that visit. To this day 6 years later, at the age of 20 she still refuses to call him dad. I can't help but wonder how a father can put a few dollars over thier relationship with their child.

It is really wrong for him to complain to her at all. It is not something he should bother his daughter with.
