Marianna, FL Divorce Law Firms & Lawyers

  You should have been notified about your rights to COBRA once the divorce was final.  However, are you sure your now ex husband notified his employer that you are divorced?  You might still be on his insurance if he did not tell them.  Of course, this is fraud, so instead of waiting, you should contact the employer's HR department and check on this yourself.    Also, you usually have a 30 day period when you are still covered, so since it is only slightly over 30 days maybe they are just behind.   The fact that your divorce decree does not reference the health insusrance only means that your husband has not agreed to provide further health coverage for you. COBRA is typically expenive so you will also want to find out the cost and then consider pursuing other health insurance options for yourself.  They are all awful, but I hope you find something  that will serve your needs.  If you send me a confidential email I can recommend someone who is very helpful in getting insurance for people in your situation.

In Florida neither of the parties has to sign a final judgment, just the judge signs it. The judge will not enter a final judgment unless all other necessary documents have been signed by the parties, and it depends upon the judge as to whether a divorce can be granted pursuant to a motion for judgment on the pleadings.

Your wife does not need to sign anything acknowledging that she received the Petition for Divorce. A process server can sign an affidavit stating that the process server did indeed serve your wife with the petition for divorce and in Wisconsin, that would be legally sufficient for complying with the notice requirement and proceeding with your divorce. If you are unable to serve her, the law allows you the opportunity to serve her notice via legal publication. Depending in which county in Wisconsin you have filed your divorce in, they should have some local court rules regarding service by publication.
