Q: I have appealed a decision for unreimbursed medical expenses. I appealed based on that I was never confered with medical needs or expenses in over 10 years. The original child support order stated I MUST be consulted with all medical needs and never was and IF I was I could use the court to make a decision (Which I did once I was handed bills in excess of $6000). It was openly admitted in court that my ex never spoke to me about bills or medical needs. I appealed based on that and was denied. The apeal judge stated "I should have utilized proper legal mechanisms to address that issue". What other mechanism(s) did I miss? I went to court immediately once I was handed the bills. I wish to apeal the decision to a higher court. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
A: I would surmise that you filed an Objection, which was denied - and now you wish to appeal to the Appellate Division. Assuming this to be the case, you must file your Notice of Appeal within 30 days of the date of the decision. Thus, I highly encourage you to contact my office for a free initial consultation. - 914-468-0968. -- David Bliven, Westchester Family Law attorney (www.blivenlaw.net)
