Written proof of obligor's compliance with order
When a court orders someone to get health insurance for a child or family member, that person (the obligor) has 30 days to show proof they got the insurance or applied for it. If they don't show that proof, the other person (the obligee) can send a copy of the court order directly to the obligor's job or union to make the insurance happen. Before doing that, the obligee has to mail the obligor a warning and wait 15 more days. If there's still no proof, the obligee files a statement with the court saying the obligor never followed through.
