Hello everyone,
Client was divorced last year. Since that time, his former spouse left her former employer (issue in case since there are pending motions as to the voluntariness of her departure) and obtained new employment. Moreover, she additionally remarried and is now insured through her husband health benefits. MSA requires that she provide health insurance for the children so long as it is available through her employer. Wife claims that since she does not need her new employer's coverage due to husband's coverage she does not have to provide it for the children as it would be cost prohibitive and she wants my guy to get Family Care or pay $800 per month for the children through her policy. Any suggestions. My thought is that the MSA compels her to provide the coverage since it is available through her employer and the state system should not be burdened when coverage is available.
TIA
Eric
