You may not be able to do anything, unless by doing so, your ex-husband has violated either a divorce agreement or settlement between you, or else violated a court decree. That is because in the absence of a specific requirement to keep you on the insurance, he may remove you. If matters are not yet fully settled, then you may be able to seek additional compensation to balance this out--e.g. since you have to now buy your own insurance earlier, it would be be reasonable to seek a larger share of assets.
