It will help you in the long run to keep her on your insurance. Should she run up bills while still technically married to you, they would be your responsibility.
Also, imagine if you were the judge or mediator in the divorce, it will help your case immensely if you do the right thing and keep her on until the divorce is final. Otherwise, it just looks petty and spiteful. You want to avoid the appearance of this when you get to the final decision.

If you are in the United States, you don't even "have" to have your wife on your insurance if you are living together. It is not required. When you get a divorce, if your wife is on your health insurance, the court may, at her request, tell you to leave her on there for a period of time, but the decision to leave her on there if you haven't filed yet is totally up to you. To be a "nice person", If it cost you money each month, I would offer to her to keep her there if she pays you the premium. Insurance is an important thing to have, and it would be a shame to deprive her if she has no other insurance.

NO. There is no law that says you have to have health insurance on your spouse. It would be better to take her off now cause if you wait till the divorce, the judge may make you keep her on it cause it is her "lifestyle". Take her off now. She can always get her own insurance with her job. You don't want to keep paying for her insurance once you're divorced and she is with another man!!

It would be the right thing to do,let her know after the divorce she could pay any xtra costs that you endure., give her the option of getting her own insurance at that time. Respect and dignity go a long way even after the divorce. Youll sleep better knowing you were not vindictive

Most insurances only let you make changes certain times of year and for only certain reasons. Most insurances will only let you drop a wife or husband when a divorce is final , and usually you have to show documentation

No you do not. It is up to the individual as to who they want to cover... No law says you have to provide insurance because you are married. If it's court ordered because of a divorce for the ex-wife or children....that's a different story

If she remains your legally your spouse you prefer to maintain the coverage on her. in spite of her getting over. permit me permit you comprehend why. If something became to take place to her and she or he needs scientific care or perhaps worse you would be answerable for the invoice because of the fact you're nevertheless legally married. while my husband and that i separated i had to get rid of him from my coverage because of the fact of cost. in spite of the undeniable fact that once I phoned my mom she cautioned me it does not be clever till we are legally divorced. If he would have handed i'd have had to fork up the money to Bury him. If he have been given surgical operation and we've been given back mutually which we did! That invoice would be there and we the two would go through financially to pay it. only stick it out till the marriage is legally dissolved. in case you do no longer concentration on her getting over and concentration on you doing the main appropriate difficulty it does not be as painful. i comprehend that's straightforward for me to declare because of the fact i do no longer pay your expenses yet have self belief me you do no longer choose any financial hiccups!
