Is my ex-husband responsible for my health insurance even though his employer in won’t provide it to me 3 years oafter our divorce?
In my divorce decree it was stated that my ex-husband would provide my health insurance. He did so until his employer in would no longer continue doing so after so many years. Isn’t it correct that he should pay for the insurance if his employer won’t?

In Massachusetts, the wording of the divorce decree determines all rights after divorce. If there is a separation agreement, then this was probably incorporated into the decree. The decree must be read to understand the parties rights. If the decree states that Husband must provide health insurance, then he must. If the decree states that the husband must provide health insurance provided it can be done at no further cost to the husband, then he does not have to provide the insurance. You should probably have an attorney interpret the divorce decree.
