Once you are divorced you no longer have a legal relationship that an insurance company plan will recognize to allow you to be kept on his plan. In reality a spouse may not even have a legal obligation to have you on his or her health insurance plan in your state and could drop you any time that the plan allows (usually there are specific times in the year to add/drop a party). Good luck.
