Re: full time student healh insurance coverage
Hello and Happy New Year. Since your
children are over 18, it will depend
upon what your divorce judgment specifies. However, the general rule
is that when one turns 18 they are
emancipated and all support thereafter is good will. It is common
to see divorce judgments which require parents to contribute to the college education of their children based upon their economic ability to pay, but I have not seen language pertaining to health insurance coverage. Will be happy to discuss this with you further and in more detail.
