If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

Florida does not have "legal separations". Parties do separate but nothing is filed with the court to make them "legal" as required in some other states in order to file for a divorce. Neither party is required to carry insurance for the other party if they are separated unless, the insurance is for a parcel of property that is jointly owned. If you want to take your spouse off, then contact the insurance company and see what is required.
