Consumer Narrative
My ex-wife has custody of our daughters. They all live together and none of them speak to or see me about anything. She takes the girls to medical and dental appointments and then refuses to pay the bills. Because of our divorce/child support, I have to provide medical/dental insurance. When unbeknownst to me, she takes the girls and skips out on the bill, the providers contact me for payment for services that I didn't know about, initiate or authorize. Now I have several collections on my credit report negatively affecting me.
