It depends. If there is an Order for Alimony in the case, the Court may order the ex-spouse who is paying the Alimony to pay for the health insurance of the other ex-spouse. The payment of health insurance for an ex-spouse cannot to reduce the obligor's ex-spouse's Alimony payment�the Alimony amount would stay the same.

If there is no Order for health insurance with the Divorce Decree, then there is no obligation on the part of an ex-spouse to provide health insurance for his/her ex-spouse.
