Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
Changed first name
My future ex-husband changed his
first name 04/07. When he signed up for health insurance he put his
old first name on the paperwork. He
has to provide insurance for our
son until he turns 18.Is it ok to use
that medical card,or should I inform
insurance company of the name
change?

Your husband should notify the insurance company of any legal change to his name. He should do this in order to avoid providing them with any basis for confusion in processing claims or a reason to deny coverage in the future.
