I am wondering if anyone here has run into this situation. 17 year old is getting emancipated. Judge wants proof of Health insurance before it is granted. Currently she is on parents group policy through work. Parents are divorced and she is on both group policies. Dad's is primary and Mom's is secondary. Dad's insurance (BCBS) says they will not continue her if emanicpated. Mom's (Humana) says they will continue her if still in school. 17 year old is still in school and plans on going to college.
Dad's attorney is pushing the issue that she will not have health insurance and says she finds it hard in this day and age that an insurance company will cover an emancipated minor. Most insurance companies will cover a child until 23, 24 or even 25 if they continue to be in school full time.
BTW reason for emancipation is because of the father. He is fighting it because he is a complete and total control freak.
Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.
