We have never filed for a legal separation and have significant others. If we divorce he cannot keep me on his insurance. I do not want him responsible for my bills, nor me, his.

yes you can.
make sure you can get insurance before you jump.
insurance can be expensive.
hospital care can be even more expensive if you do not have insurance.
LOOK BEFORE YOU LEAP.
he can't be that bad if he keeps you insured.

If you are not divorced and you have significant others you both are guilty of adultery. So what if he can't keep you on his insurance if you divorce, get your own insurance. Until you are legally separated and file for divorce you ARE responsible for each other's bills. You are both responsible for 1/2 of the marital debt and until you are no longer married you have to pay on that marital debt. You SHOULD have gotten a legal separation in the beginning, that way all assets and debts would have been "frozen" and anything that he incurred between then and now would be HIS responsibility only and visa versa. You can make a will out ANYTIME you want but as long as you are still married your spouse will get your estate should you pass.

Of course you can write a will anytime you want whether you are separated or not....what you can't do however is claim you are not responsible for each others bills in the will. Staying married for the sake of insurance is wrong too. In reality because you are separated and have been for sometime the insurance company could look upon what you are doing is some sort of fraud and deny any claim. Best advice is to go ahead and get a divorce and go on with your lives.

You really need to get a legal separation or divorce. You can write a will but depending on the state laws where you and he live it may not be followed. To know for sure talk to a lawyer.

As long as you are married, you are responsible for his bills, if something was to happen to him, and he will be responsible for yours. If insurence is the only reason to stay married, I would check to see if I could find a cheap policy to help if it was needed. Besides that Ms, helps out people that don't have insurence. My daughter just came back from there.

If you do not want him responsible for your bills, then why havent you filled for divorce yet? Just get it over with. As far as a will... A will can be drafted at any point in time prior to death. Just make sure to have it recorded through an attorney as the last dated and signed will, will be considered and used as "Last will and testimont."

yes, you can have a will created at anytime; however, Living Trusts are actually better than wills. Even with a will, your estate must go through Probate Court; A living trust details your wishes and it's effective immediately upon your death. It's easier to sue when an estate is going through probate vs. living trust.
p.s.- just get a divorce.

Sounds like you need to make it permanent, but that is just my opinion. Yes you can write a will and live whatever you have to whomever you want, but if your still legally married, your husband can file a claim to assets. You might want to consult an attorney to advise you legally.

You can always write a will. As soon as its finished and you are happy with it. Take it to a Notary Public and get it notarized. Divorce his silly *** & get on with your life. Ladies from the South do not need some guy telling them how to live their lives. We all had enough of that when we lived at home.

You should get a lawyer and explain the situation. He or she will be able to help you draft a will that outlines your wishes.
It doesn't matter that you're married. If you prepare a will, that is what is legal and binding.
What will be worse is if you don't prepare one and he will legally be responsible for everything that you leave behind.
