    You will usually be required to take her off of your policy and have her pick up her own. Sometimes a judge will require you pay for your ex-spouses insurance, in which case she would need to pick up her own policy.  Check with your insurance company to be sure how they would handle your individual situation.

    When you fill out a health insurance application, you will see fields for applicant, spouse and children. A spouse could be a domestic partner, but not an ex. To maintain continuous coverage, this should be dealt with during the divorce proceedings. If the ex was on your group coverage, then he/she would be eligible for Cobra if he/she otherwise qualified.
