When the divorce was filed you were put under an automatic order not to cancel any insurance. That order stands until your divorce is final OR further order of the court. So you can try at least to persuade the court to issue an order allowing you to cancel the insurance early. If you cancel it without a court order OK'ing it, however, you will be in contempt of court and have a whole new big set of problems.
