you are about to be divorced. I feel like this THEY (BM&STBX) are his parents and it is their responsibility to provide for him. In your post you said STBX not being able to afford an extra $100 is not your business anymore. IMO neither is providing health insurace for them.As for STBX HELL NAW should you keep that thing on your insurance. Another thing insurance fraud is a felony are they worth it?

If raising children was going to be easy, it never would have started with something called labor!

You owe them nothing. You can't keep him on your insurance. You are not legally responsible for him and you don't want to go the felony route! Do not do him any favors.

Be strong!

I agree with the rest of the ladies you owe them NOTHING!!! They are not your responsibility or PROBLEM anymore. Best of luck

I don't see any harm in keeping them both on your policy until your divorce is final if that's what you want to do. To be on the safe side, call up HR or your insurance company and find out how they handle divorcing couples. Until the divorce is final, you are still legally married and they may still be eligible as dependents. Find out what triggers ineligibility with regard to your plan. It could be a legal separation, but it's probably the actual finalizing of the divorce that renders them ineligible. The key phrase in my advice, though, is "if that's what you want to do." You're not obligated, so don't feel like you have to do it. But I don't think you would be committing insurance fraud or anything like that, since you're still legally married.

I kind of agree with Anne. If that's what you want to do, and it's not costing you anything, I say go for it. But make sure that you let him know that when they become ineligible, you will be removing them. You don't need to go to jail for insurance fraud just to help out your STBX.

If they are eligible for coverage indefinitely (which I highly doubt, but you never know), I think it would be inappropriate for him to still be covered by you when he or you begin to become serious with someone else. Others may not see it that way but I could imagine the jealousy issues I'd have if my partner was still on his ex wife's insurance. It may be trivial, but then again sometimes it's the little things that really set people off and you don't want to lose someone you care about or get a bit%^y phone call or email from a girlfriend of his over that, you know?

I say if you are divorcing, no offense, but what was the comment he said about your DD? That after you split he wants nothing to do with her? Oh, but that's right....because it's HIM and HIS SON, you are to keep doing what he wants or thinks he needs? Krissy, if and when you are done and divorced, you will need to work at letting it go and moving on. Having them on your insurance is not letting it go. How would you feel if you married him, when all things were a bit happier, and there he had his ex and HER child (not his) still on his insurance for "indefinite"? After the comments and things he's done and said, honey, when you cut those ropes, you need to completely cut them. Legal or not, you owe him nothing. He can't even be CORDIAL to your innocent child that knows him as "daddy", yet, he expects you to do this? Not only NO, but heck NO! What a self centered, selfish prick! Maybe it's time grew some! By you keeping him on there, you are only make his life easier. So what if he can't afford it? Then I guess if he wants to be able to live, then he'll have to take action then won't he? If you allow him to continue to use you, you will NOT be happy.
