If he moved out over a year ago and hasn't

been regularly supporting you, you can

sue for divorce for abandonment You do not

need his permission

You will need $ 350.00 for filing fees and

disbursements and a good attorney who

will let you make payments, but it will be

done and done quickly

you cannot remove him from the insurance without

the risk of you being held personally liable

for his medical expenses while he is uncovered
