My husband and his ex-wife talked about putting braces on their daughter about 5 months ago and we told her we couldnt afford it yet, and yesterday she tells us out of the blue she is getting started on it today, we cant afford it right now and my husband never agreed to this, are we still responsible for half of this cost.
