If he is your husband you may have to continue providing him with insurance. If the insurance is offered free through employment, that should be no problem. If you have to pay for it, you may wish to seek reimbursement from him or advise him you will cancel him if your employer allows you to do that.

You can't terminate health care coverage until your divorce is finished unless she agrees. Make sure it's in writing and do not pressure her Opinion not legal advice.

You don't provide enough information to guess at an answer. If the divorce case is underway, you probably are prohibited from cancelling health insurance without court approval but that may depend on the law of whatever state you now live in and is not the same in every state. If there is no pending divorce case or court order there is nothing that says you have to provide health insurance for anyone.

If he is covered on your health insurance and the divorce is on "hold" then yes because you can't change anything like insurance, wills, etc until the divorce is final. You can file a motion with the court for permission to stop paying the health insurance and it will depend on all the factors whether the judge will grant your request.

Can you make meatloaf without meat? Attorneys cannot give answers without knowing the facts. If you have an agreement to provide him with health care, you legally have to do that. If not, perhaps not.

Consider speaking with your attorney(s), your bankruptcy and/or divorce attorney, about this issue.
