That depends on what your divorce decree says. If there is no time limit, it is indefinite.

If the Judgment is silent on time, it could be inferred your would have to provide insurance for her life. If there is a dispute, either party could petition the court for clarification.

In Alaska if there has been an order for health insurance you would be liable to pay her. I cannot answer your question completely without knowing exactly what the paperwork for your divorce says. If you want to change it you would be advised to get an attorney to help you fight this issue.

It should have state a specific timeframe as to how long you had to carry her on your insurance. If you would like us to review your paperwork you can contact our office directly or fax to our office for us to review and return the call to you.

The answer should be stated in the order that said you had to provide it. If the order doesn't say, you need to go back to the judge and have it clarified in an amended order.

Usually the document reads that you provide health insurance for as long as it is available through your employment at little or no cost. Check for that language.

Until the agreement says you can stop or until you go to court to change it based on a change of circumstances.

The duration of the coverage should be spelled out in the Judgment. If the court retained jurisdiction then you can motion the court for clarification or termination. You should consult a family law attorney to review the documents and circumstances and advise you.

That would depend upon what is in the settlement agreement or what the Court put in it's Final Judgment Order.
