Can I Still Get Medical Insurance Benefits From My Spouses Employer After the Divorce?

 

 

Divorce is a difficult time for all involved and can affect both parties financially. When one spouse decides to end the marriage, it can leave both of them with serious financial problems.

 

Many families in Texas get health insurance through one spouse’s employment. But what happens when a marriage disintegrates? Is it possible for a non-employee spouse to stay on their ex-spouse’s health insurance after a divorce? What about the children?

 

In the video, Atty. Tyler Monahan of Turner-Monahan, PLLC, elaborates on whether a mother is always the child’s primary conservator.

Getting Medical Insurance After Divorce From The Spouse’s Employer

 

Many spouses asked whether or not they would be eligible to continue on their ex-spouse’s health insurance plan. Most of the time, that’s not available. Some health insurance plans allow for that. But, as per observations, 95 to 99% of them do not.

 

There are some employers based in other states that allow that to happen, and so the ex-spouse can keep the other spouse on that plan. But for the most part, when you get divorced, you will probably not be eligible to continue on your ex-spouse’s health insurance plan.
