the good news just keeps on coming...

So I get a call at work from Boo, and this time she reports that she has just been in a serious auto accident. My first question is "are you hurt?". She reports that she has a headache, and has an appointment to see a doctor today. I tell her to get a lawyer (with money she doesn't have) and keep me posted. Now, the real reason she called me is because, in my efforts to be a decent man, I had agreed to keep her on my auto insurance policy for six months after i made her move out. Since she couldn't afford to pay for it, being out of work and totally unqualified for any job not involving spreading her legs. So now, my question is, how far does my responsibility go? Do I pay the increased premiums, do i pay for her car repairs? Common sense says no. But I'm sure she expects me to help, since she, having the responsibility of a twelve year old, cannot possibly handle it herself. So the real question is, can I deduct whatever this is going to cost me (and believe me, somehow, it is going to cost me) from our final divorce settlement? Of course, my $400 / hour divorce lawyer is out of town for a month on yet another month-long vacation, so I can't ask him, so I put it to the world, is this fair? Deducting the cost from her settlement, I mean, not the whole situation. Either way, of course, i expect lots and lots of screaming at me for trying to keep from being taken advantage of.
