Legal Question in Family Law in New York

I share joint custody of our 2 boys with my ex-apouse. She has remarried and now maintains the family health insurance through her spouse's employer. Her spouse maintains family coverage also for her, himself and his daughter from his previous marriage.

I'm covered with family health through my new wife's employer's health coverage for which we both are covered and so is her son from her previous.

My question is, she has open enrollment coming up soon, Should I add my 2 boys under her family coverage also (giving them dual health coverage)? It wouldn't cost us anymore money either with her already having family coverage. Is this a good idea??

Thanks for your time to read this and your follow up answer.

Good luck,
