My husband passed away suddenly on December 27th. I was signed up for Medicare Part A but forgot to sign up for Part B during the enrollment period due to the shock. I was covered by COBRA for six months and then enrolled in Blue Cross Medicare. I have $3,500 in doctor bills from a colonoscopy and a urologist visit during the COBRA period, which Aetna refused to pay because they said I should have been on Medicare. Can you help me with this matter?

I am finalizing a divorce in Virginia, Fairfax County. The settlement agreement includes a subsection about attorney's fees and costs, but it only covers the negotiation and preparation of the Agreement. I want the attorney's fees and costs wording to apply across the entire divorce process, including after the Agreement is signed, up to the finalization of the divorce. How can I modify the wording in the Agreement to ensure I only pay 50% of my spouse's attorney's fees and costs throughout the entire divorce process?
