Not getting my first fill

OK, so I wasn't expecting this the day before my first fill. See I am going through a divorce and my soon to be ex was court ordered to provide me with health insurance until the divorce is final. But of course he didn't. He took me off affective the first of the year! My first fill was scheduled for January 6th and I called the insurance company just to make sure I still had coverage and was told he terminated me with the reason that I had other insurance. I was told there was nothing they could do, he had to have me put back on! Fuming I emailed my attorney and she immediately sent his attorney a letter stating that he was in contempt from the judge's order to keep me on the health insurance. What a complete jerk! It cost him nothing more to have me on the insurance than to take me off! Now I have zero insurance until we haul his butt back in to court and the judge makes him put me back on. He is so vindictve it will take the threat of jail time to put me back on. Now he has jeapordized his job and who knows what they will do to him. We may both be going on COBRA. With divorce I can get 36 months of COBRA. With him losing his job it drops to 18 months. But as it is right now I can't even get COBRA! I need the insurance since I can't get individual with my health issues and weight! The reason I had the surgery was to lose weight, get healthier and better to be able to get my own individual health insurance. So what do you do when life hands you crap like this? You have to work harder. So I went to the gym and walked on the treadmill for 50 minutes. I haven't been able to go much more than 30 minutes so far. Well, I blew that out of the water. And could have gone longer, but my daughter was ready to go.....tomorrow is another day.

Nice response! When life hands you lemons....make lemonaid.

The workout was a great outlet.

Yes, excellent response to a tough situation. You are strong and you will work it through!!

Hmmm, have you shared with your lawyer? Seems that if he was court ordered, you may be able to recover some cost here.

This is a tricky subject....and depending on his contract at work, he may not be allowed to keep you on. He is court ordered to provide you with insurance, the company is not. Several times we had ex-wives and or soon to be ex-wives call up FUMING over the same issue and we always had to tell them to go to their lawyers because there's nothing we can do, and if he as the employee has removed you, you couldn't be added back on.

Some employers don't allow removal until the final paperwork is submitted, some will remove at separation and some will remove with just a word from the employee..

I feel your pain on this, I worked in benefits administration for quite awhile and as one of the higher ups in the food chain, I would get all of these angry ex-spouse calls.

I totally get it.. but good for you blowing that steam off in a productive way. Show up to court looking that much more fabulous than the last time he saw you!
