Legal Question in Family Law in New York

father's payment for dental work

One assumes that the "contract" to which you refer is, in fact, a separation agreement and that the provisions w/re: medical are part & parcel of the provisions for child support.

You may be able to access the Family Court for the purpose of seeking enforcement of your interpretation of the medical reimbursement provisions - - depending on the specific particulars of the separation agreement and/or the status of any active (pending) matrimonial action and/or divorce decree.

Put otherwise, if the father is determined to Not Pay, nothing written here will change the ultimate reality that you will have to seek enforcement _via_ the Court; whether there is merit to the father's "preferred" interpretation depends in large part on too many factors not available in the context of your question as posted.

Regards, etc.,
