Legal Question in Family Law in Rhode Island
Health insurance
What happens if my ex is resopnsible
for providing health coverage and he
loses his job through which the plan
was provided? The divorce decree
states he must maintain the medical
coverage prodided by his current
employer for me and my children
according to the RI INSURANCE
CONTINUATION ACT. He recently
became unemployed at no fault of
his own. Is he required to pay out of
his own pocket?

Re: Health insurance
If it says "current employer" and he is not with his "current employer" AND there are no other provisions either in the Final Judgment of Divorce or a Marital Settlement Agreement about health insurance then there is nothing obligating your ex-spouse to continue the insurance.
Your ex-spouse can be required to pay monies out of pocket as a medical insurance contribution but you will have to return to court to get an Order for that contribution.
