What you "qualify for" is not a question which can be answered without all of the facts. There are a number of statutory considerations for this type of question and the answer will depend upon a review of those considerations and a determination of what jurisdiction might be deciding the question ultimately.

By law in Nebraska, you can only be covered by your spouse on health insurance for six months after the entry of Decree. You will need to visit with a lawyer about alimony, and whether your health would entitle alimony to include a premium on health insurance for you. Alimony is very, very fact specific, and therefore it is best to speak with an attorney about how your judge would view your facts.

In Utah, alimony is based upon, essentially, the need of the one seeking alimony and whether the other spouse is able to pay any alimony. While a court can order and ask spouse to pay for an ex-spouse's health insurance, in Utah the practice is generally for the ex-spouse's to obtain their own insurance coverage for which they pay out of their own respective pockets after divorce Most insurance companies will not allow an ex-pastor remain on a family health insurance policy after the marriage dissolved.

Alimony is determined based upon the total financial picture. You should speak to an attorney.
