I wouldnt think hes "responsible" for anything, he's not legally required to carry insurance on you even if you were in a happy, loving marriage. He's ABLE to have insurance on you, but I dont think he HAS to. That would be entirely up to him. Maybe you shouldnt get knocked up by other men, or should at least have the decency to get a divorce.
2 :
no..marriage does not mean financial responsibility
3 :
He can use this in court.... why should he support this skank? He shouldnt.
4 :
Really??? Wow you are a winner aren't you>?? No, if it's not HIS child, he has no obligation to it or you at all.
5 :
Unfortunately he probably is. At least for HER insurance since they are not legally separated or divorced. This is why it's so important to do these legal things... it protects you in the end. It might seem a waste of time and expensive now... but she will get everything if you die... she will be responsible for making decisions for you if you can't... think about it... isn't it worth spending some money now and taking some time to hang out in court than to be stuck with all these bills now?
6 :
No.
7 :
I hope not!!!
8 :
Duh....no. Not morally, ethically, or legally. How dare her.
9 :
Absolutely not! Even if it were legal, she would be a morally bankrupt person to use anything from him for herself or the child.
10 :
No, he isn't.

Why in the Hell is there no divorce!?!?!?!?!?! The husband will need a lawyer, but in this case it is pretty obvious that her intetn is to NOIT be his wife, so he should have her removed. Morally, he is responsible for NOTHING, but legally, he might be. SEE A LAWYER.

Depends on the state's Family Laws....he can refuse to pay NOW and she may not be able to sue him until the Family Court orders he pays and that may be after she delivers...if he challenges paternity, child support, etc, odds are he will NOT be responsible for a child that is not his, especially if she conceived AFTER she moved out of the marriage home and he can prove that. There is no law that states a husband must pay for the wife's insurance and medical bills...she's an adult and responsible for herself....only if a judge ORDERS it can she collect. I betcha she signed papers with the doctor agreeing to take responsibility for her medical bills...if she named her husband as the responsible party and he did NOT sign or agree he CAN successfully challenge that. Not his contract, not his signature.... if she's been shacking up with another man for FOUR YEARS and the baby is not his...the marriage was NOT intact and I doubt she'll get a penny from the estranged husband under the circumstances.....and if she threatens to sue for the medical bills and the child's...he can counter threaten by suing for child custody...it works both ways..... So he should refuse and let her try to sue him in Family Court for it...she'll probably loose.

I would say he's not responsible for anything, frankly. Even if they were still together, legally, he doesn't have to pay for her medical bills. He doesn't own her, she's still an individual person. They made the choice to get married and share expenses, and either person can leave that agreement. And by the way, if the child is not his, he is not responsible, the father is. Period.
14 :
No. In fact, it is costing him money. Make the change during open enrollment and drop her from the policy.
15 :
You are never responsible for another persons insurance married or not. It just usually works out better for married couples to get insurance that way. You can drop her anytime you like.
