Mobile, AL asked in Divorce for Virginia

Q: If I have a Divorce agreement that states

That husband will maintain at my cost, the existing, continuation and any successor health, dental, vision, & major medical insurance at current level for my ex-wife and 22-year-old daughter until such time they are no longer eligible. In the event that wife and daughter are no longer eligible to receive TRICARE benefits, husband shall assist wife and daughter in exercising group health continuation rights should either so choose, at no cost to husband.

Each party is solely responsible for her or his own uninsured medical, dental, health and counselling expenses, and wife shall be responsible for the cost of daughter’s unreimbursed expenses.

In layman’s terms, what does this mean?

A: If you and your daughter can be on his policy, he provides insurance at his cost.

If you and your daughter can't be on his policy, but can subscribe to continuation, i.e., COBRA, coverage, he will sign the form, but you pay.

You pay for your and your daughter's care expenses not paid by insurance.
