    If his ex wife did not get approval from tricare(that sounds like the case) for treatment prior to her being sent to the facility for drug abuse and suicide issues(tricare will cover part of this w/ prior approval) that is her fault. Your husband has her enrolled in tricare so that medical cost are kept at a minimum. I would offer to pay no more than $4,000.00 of it. That's if he's feeling generous and you can afford it. He also needs to demand that she go back to school or have her emancipated(declared an adult.)

    The answer is... not likely he can be held accountable beyond what he is legally obligated to provide. Nevertheless, your husband needs to provide everything to the JAG and stand up for his rights and protection. Just don't ignore is and assume that everything is okay just because JAG says so. They aren't infallible either. On the other hand, if he does nothing, he could end up with a judgment against him, even if he is not obliged to pay. So don't take anything for granted, and keep working with JAG for his protection.

    Only an attorney can give this advice. She will probably win a settlement, but if you can agree on a lesser amount than pay the attorney his fee for his mistress' apt, then I would do that. The attorney needs money and will milk you for everything to support his vices. Anything you can do to settle out of court will be cheaper.

    Not if jag said he didn't. Forget about it.
