I am so sorry for your situation but commend you both for trying to resolve things. I am hoping that you are not doing anything, though, to defraud any creditors. Now, the specifics of a legal separation in the State of Wisconsin are best asked to an attorney in your area. But I have to say that the general rule is that as long as you are lawfully and legally married you can be listed on his insurance policy. There is still a legal connection between you and your husband even with a separation agreement. And it remains until a judge severs that legal connection. Good luck to you all with figuring everything out.
