Legal Question in Family Law in California
''Health benefits after a legal separation''
I am in the research phase of a legal separation. I was wondering if you could please tell me whether or not my husband could still be fully covered under my health benfits after a legal separation. I see that the COBRA benefits would still be availiable. I would like for him to still be able to have ''full'' coverage if possible. Please advise if there may be a way to achieve this.
Thank you very much.

Dear Inquirer:
Nothing herein shall create an attorney-client
relationship, unless a written retainer agreement
is executed by the attorney and client. This
communication contains general information only.
Nothing herein shall constitute an attorney-client
communication nor legal advice. There likely are
deadlines and time-limits associated with your
case; you should contact an attorney of your
choice for legal advice specific to your personal
situation, at once.
If you haven't already done so, please visit my

The site contains quite a bit of general
information about California Family Law, as well
as information about me (education, experience,
et cetera) and my office (location, hours, fees,
policies).
NOW, IN RESPONSE TO YOUR INQUIRY --
Maintaining the other spouse's health insurance coverage
is among the most common reasons for getting a legal
separation instead of a dissolution.
