If you have divorce or legal separation pending before the court, there is an automatic temporary order in effect that prohibits cancellation of insurance including health care. If nothing is filed with the court, you would not be in violation of an existing court order, however if and when this matter gets into court, the judge could mandate reinstating the insurance. You could be setting yourself up for a big financial hit if the cancellation results in a skyrocketing premium!
