More details to this question:
I'm the custodial parent but my ex husband decided to also purchase health insurance for the kids when i told him i'd be covering it. He is now deducting half of his health care for the kids from child support and sending me the remainder. Is he allowed to do this? He covered the kids last year because of a job situation but it changed this year and i told him i would be covering them again. He ignored me and decided to keep them covered anyway. He had originally agreed via text that we would both cover them and not charge each other but now he's saying he wants half from me for it.
