Instructions for Contesting a Request for Unreimbursed / Uninsured Health Care Expenses for Joint Children In Minnesota, if parents share joint legal and physical custody of a child, both are legally responsible for the cost of reimbursed or uninsured health care expenses for the child. To contest a request for such expenses, Minnesota provides different types of instructions for contesting a request. The first type of instructions is found in the Minnesota Uniform Child Support Order (USO). This order dictates that if a party contests a request for reimbursed or uninsured medical expenses, they must do so in writing within 10 days of the date of the request. The party contesting must provide clear reasons as to why the request should not be granted. The second type of instructions is found in Minnesota Statutes section 518.171. This section outlines that a party who contests a request for uninsured or reimbursed health care expenses must do so through a motion to modify or terminate the existing child support order. The motion must be filed within the appropriate district court and must include a copy of the original request for expenses. Finally, the third type of instructions is found in Minnesota Statutes section 518.551. This section states that a party who contests a request for uninsured or reimbursed medical expenses must do so through an objection. The objection must be filed within 10 days of the date of the request and must include a detailed explanation of why the request should not be granted. In summary, the three different types of Minnesota instructions for contesting a request for reimbursed or uninsured health care expenses for joint children include the Minnesota Uniform Child Support Order, a motion to modify or terminate the existing child support order, and an objection.
