Usually, if you find a job with medical insurance and discontinue using your ex-spouse's coverage, you cannot go back on that coverage if the job ends.  the terms of the divorce form bed and board may be slightly different than a "regular" divorce, and there is always the possibility that you can stipulate what coverage you would be entitled to receive.  However, it is not typical that an ex-spouse remains on the coverage.
