Health Insurance After Divorce
How spouses maintain medical coverage once a Florida marriage ends, since a spouse generally loses eligibility under the other's employer plan after the divorce is final. Options include COBRA continuation coverage, the federal Marketplace, or a new employer's plan. For children, the parenting plan and support order usually specify which parent provides health insurance and how uncovered medical costs are shared.
