I live in Texas and was wondering if anyone knew the right of being covered on your STBX insurance.

Can you call the provider and ask?

Actually, in MA, health insurance companies are required by law to cover the ex-spouse AFTER the divorce (they may make an exception if one or both are remarried) but then again, in MA, every person is required to have health insurance or there is a penalty on the state income tax.

Although the ironic part was, when I got div the 1st time, my ex worked for the Post Office, so being the federal gov't, they aren't bound by state law, so I could only continue on his health ins. by paying myself under COBRA. At least my 2nd DH has health ins, cause my employer doesn't offer it.
