It's legally possible, but would have to be negotiated as part of a divorce agreement or ordered by a judge.

Should you like to discuss this or any other legal matter, you can e-mail me for more information about low cost face-to-face, on-line, or a telephone consultation with a lawyer in our office.

No, because they are no longer part of the "family" plan, best you can do is COBRA and negotiate to have spouse pay for it for 18 mos!

After that, they can NOT stay on plan.
