If my girlfriend and I just recently had a baby and she is finalizing her divorce but is on her husband’s insurance until it is final, is she still covered?
I am wondering since I am the father of her child; is she disqualified because they were separated? We have been dating for over 2 years She is currently finalizing her divorce from her husband. She was on his insurance until the divorce was finalized. Is she covered since I am the father or is she disqualified because they were separated?

Is there an agreement between the attorneys that has been put in to writing that states that her husbands is to maintain insurance for her benefit until they are divorced? Then she would be covered. But I would double check the baby because and how that coverage applies to him or her and if notification to the insurance company of the birth is an issue. It gets a little complicated there. Congratulations and good luck.
