Legally, can my spouse cancelled me as a driver on the auto insurance policy? We are at the newborn stages of a divorce nothing has been filed YET.

We have 3 vehicles, all
obtained within the 25 yr
marriage. Divorce has not yet
been filed but we no longer
sleep under the same roof. Car
insurance has always been
handled paid for by him. I’m
an ‘additional driver’ on the
policy. He is now threatening
to report the 1 vehicle I drive
daily titled to him stolen to
the police he’s removing me
from the insurance policy. We
ARE still married nothing’s
been filed yet for divorce. Is
he within his legal rights to
do this?

I think that it is time that you seek help from an attorney and to file for divorce.  Divorce courts can issue restraining orders to stop a party from doing anything to a marital asset until such time as the court (or the parties) determine what is marital and what is not.  Here is an article from the Ohio Car Association to help.  Good luck.
