When a married couple decides to divorce, it is a stressful time for everyone. Their children are affected, their family members are affected, and sometimes even their friends are affected. When divorce is the issue, people ideally just want to get it over with as quickly and painlessly as possible for all parties involved.
Once two people are divorced, they no longer have any ties to each other; unless, of course, they have children together. When two people who have children together decide to divorce, there are many family concerns to deal with. It is best that both parents to handle the family concerns as smoothly as possible to protect the children, because while one of the main family concerns for parents during a divorce is custody, one of the main concerns for children is why their parents are divorcing in the first place.
One way to make sure family concerns are taken care of once a divorce is final is to handle the issue of health insurance for the children before the divorce is final. If both parents have their own health insurance policies, the only decision to make is usually who will take the children under his or her health insurance policy. But if one parent has health insurance and the other does not because he or she was covered under the other's health insurance, problems can arise.
Unfortunately, in this situation, the spouse with the health insurance policy is not always willing to continue taking care of family concerns that last despite divorce, such as the cost of health care for the children.
If you are the parent without a health insurance policy, make sure you discuss these family concerns with your divorce attorney. Even if you are "sure" the other parent will take care of the cost of health care for the children, it is best to completely cover all grounds before the divorce is final.
