A RI HEALTH INSURANCE QUESTION FOR THE RHODE ISLAND DIVORCE COACH

QUESTION: In a Rhode Island Divorce, if you are covered by your spouse's health insurance are you entitled to have that insurance continue?

ANSWER: Excluding a Rhode Island divorce that involves possible military benefits that may be available then generally the answer is, No. No spouse has a legal right or entitlement to have continued health insurance as a matter of any law applying to people generally in the State of Rhode Island. Absent an agreement between the parties (preferrably in writing) or an Order of the Court establishing an entitlement or right of one spouse to have health insurance provided by the other spouse, there is no right or entitlement to have health insurance provided by the other spouse.
