My divorce in NY state was finalized in October of 1999. It was agreed upon that my ex and I would share health insurance bills for our 3 children based in proportion to our income. The last 4 years my ex has been supplying the health insurance through his job. 4 years ago he told me how much my share was. I asked him in writing to prove the health care cost from his employer so that I can figure out my share. He never got back to me. Now 4 years later he is seeking health insurance payments back dated 4 years. I don't have a problem paying my share of health insurance but do I have to back pay 4 years worth. This letter I wrote to him was sent certified return receipt. Is there a statue of limitations for this? Please advise. Thank you.
Good evening,I'm sorry to hear of your dilemma.There is no statute of limitations that will apply to this situation as the court order is still in force. You can require him to prove all these "new" expenses before you are obligated to pay them though. Even if he were to make a claim based on contract, in NY he would have 6 years to file his claim after the debt was due.I wish you and your children well.
