With respect to health insurance, the language of the decree will have impact on what his ability to provide coverage. The answer also depends on his reason for the request. If he lost health insurance coverage through his job than he may have the ability to get the court to modify the decree. As for First Holy Communion, the answer depends on who has legal custody (decision making responsibilities). If you have sole decision making responsibilities then your daughter may receive First Holy Communion but you may need to speak with your priest about an alternate date if your ex will not change weekends. If you have joint decision making then you may need to petition the court on the issue. Best wishes.
