Can anyone provide me with some information about getting an affordable health insurance plan for a single mother with a small child (2 and a half y.o.)? My wife and I are getting divorced. It is an uncontested divorce and we just need to figure out the support payment amount. This is the last variable. Also is there any way to keep them both under my plan at work after we are divorced? Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you so much!

Affordable health insurance certainly does exist - especially if our wife and child are both relatively healthy. You really have 3 options after the divorce: 1. Let them continue on your group plan via a COBRA group continuation plan (this is up to them and not really your choice but as long as your employer has 20 or more employees then they will be offered this option). 2. Purchase an individual plan (usually much cheaper than a COBRA plan but can be tricky to get approved for if there are health problems). 3. Get coverage with a state Medicaid like health plan. Whatever you decide to do be sure that you shop around and compare quotes from multiple companies to make sure that do not pay more than you need to.
