Do I have to keep kids on health plan after divorce?

I have been divorced for almost 6 yrs and my wife kept our kids. I have them on my health plan and I do pay child support. My ex wife currently got a better job and her insurance is way better than mine and we both agreed to take off my kids off my health insurance. The attorney general's office said no to the idea. I live in Texas, why isn't this possible if we both agreed to it? And yes, her premium is a little higher than mine.Do I have to keep kids on health plan after divorce?In many states, the non-custodial, or in your case, the Possessary Consevator, is required to carry the medical insurance. But, a percentage of the cost of the insurance is a deductible item off your child support, though I don't quite understand how they set the amount. You can do the calculation here.

Unless your kids have some sort of specific illnesses where a more expensive health coverage makes sense for better treatment options, any basic health care should suffice so you stick with the cheapest one.

When my ex had my kids, she kept them on her insurance. Hers was better. I paid extra c/s to cover it. That was approved by the court.

Read your divorce decree. If you're obligated to provide health insurance, it'll say so in the Decree. And, most well-drafted decrees cover this situation: if your ex's plan is better, y'all can agree to switch to hers, but now you're supposed to pay her back for the incremental premium for the kids in addition to regular child support. Usually, the Attorney General only gets involved if someone complains that they're not getting their child support.
