Re: health care insurance

In general, during dissolution proceedings in the Commonwealth of Kentucky, the parties will sign a Settlement Agreement. That agreement will set forth each parents' obligations to the children. If the Settlement Agreement says one parent must pay for health insurance, and the decree of dissolution incorporates that agreement into the decree signed by the judge, then that parent must provide health insurance. The other parent may take that parent to court to enforce that obligation. You may want to take a copy of the settlement agreement and decree of dissolution to an attorney to help you understand what the court has ordered in your situation.
