Greetings. Is your spouse a dependent spouse? If so, you may even have to maintain coverage for her after the date of divorce, depending on the agreement you make. Best of luck.

WIll I have to get coverage outside of my employers coverage if they will not cover her after the divorce? She previously covered herself and our children through her employer, but quit working when we separated.
Greetings. Yes, that may be the case that you will have to pay for insurance to another company since your employer may not allow you to have your spouse on your insurance after you are divorced. Thank you.

My spouse was previously covered under her employers health insurance, but quit her job when we separated. We have been separated for two years and I still pay for her coverage on my employers group policy. How long am I required to cover her for? My employers plan requires a contribution from the employees for each person covered and I am paying $160 per month for myself her and our two children. I have agreed to continue to cover our two children in addition to paying child support. Should coverage end on the date of separation or the date of the Decree Absolut when that happens? She is under ongoing treatment, which includes meds and in-office visits.
