Insurance Coverage

If the insurance company will allow you to do so, then you can drop her from your policy. But, it’s always a good idea to give her some warning that you are planning to do this, especially if you are negotiating any kind of property settlement or alimony.

Good luck,

My wife and I have been legally separated for seven months and she is employed and lives in another state. There are no children involved in our three year marriage. It is time to change insurance plans at work. I have been supplying medical coverage for her during the past seven months. Can I drop her as being covered under my plan at work now? She is employed and working full time.
