Legal Question in Family Law in California

Re: Health Insurance

He is correct, he cannot keep an ex-wife on his health insurance. There is no such provision for heath insurance premiums. He would need to purchase you a separate policy. You should look at the child support. If he was paying the insurance in lieu of part of his child support, you are probably entitled to a modification. Good Luck, Pat McCrary

The site contains quite a bit of general information about California Family Law, Tenants' Rights, and Juvenile Dependencies, as well as information about me (education, experience, et cetera) and my office (location, hours, fees, policies).

NOW, IN RESPONSE TO YOUR INQUIRY --

I suppose it could be construed as fraud against his employer (if they pay some of the premium) or against the insurance company (if the policy does not provide for such coverage). You probably ought to get your own coverage anyway. He can continue to cover the kid(s) and/or you can try to get the amount of child support increased.

Thanks for sharing your interesting inquiry with us on LawGuru, and good luck with your case.
