My ex is saying I am responsible for half of the cost of medical insurance.

I have joint legal custody of me son but he resides with his father. I have state medical( Husky) for my other two children who do live with me full time. My ex refuses to apply for Husky even though he qualifies. Instead he has chosen to sign up for an outside company which will be costly per month. Am I responsible for half of these insurance costs or just the doctors visits and prescription costs that there may be?

If you are required to pay half of the medical insurance per your custody order, then you will have to pay half. Without a court order stating otherwise, I don't believe your ex can be compelled to use the insurance you want since he has primary custody.
