Can you drop a spouse from a mortgage without their signature by refinancing?

You can refinance without the spouse but you will need their consent to do so. If the spouse is on the title of the home, the answer is "no". If the spouse is on the existing mortgage the answer is "no". If the spouse is not on title you need to indicate on the loan application that you are married, and if you don't is fraud. At the time of closing she/he would have to be present. Inform you spouse of your actions.

They may ask for proof that you are married but otherwise they shouldn't. Not that they won't try.


Can an employer who pays 100 of an employees insurance change or drop his spouse if they are separated?

While there might be a state law somewhere that allows it, I would be surprised. A separation does not remove the duty of each spouse to support the other. If the employee has the insurance befre the separation, he will have to keep it until a divorce, remarriage after divorce, she obtains her own insurance or a court orders otherwise.


If a seventeen year old gets pregnant can she legally get married and drop out of school in the state of Tennessee?

No, pregnancy does not make one an adult. She will still require the permission of her parents or a court order. Even to drop out of school would require permission from the parents.


Can a spouse cancel health insurance before the spouse files divorce?

I believe you are both responsible for any bills incurred (such as health care costs) until you are divorced, so in some cases it would behoove a spouse to keep coverage on the other spouse so that they don't end up responsible for a large bill in the case of an accident or serious illness. However, if there is a separation agreement with a clause about neither party being responsible for any debts incurred after the signing of the agreement, one may be able to drop their spouse from insurance without issue.


What do you need to drop a divorce in Texas?

Unfortunately, even in Texas, if one of the two spouses wants a divorce they have a right to get that divorce and nothing can stop it. If one wants to drop the divorce then they will need to 'nonsuit it.' This means that the person who filed the original petition for divorce will need to file a 'motion to nonsuit.'


What is a qualifying event to drop medical insurance through your employer?

Usually divorce (to drop the other party) or marriage. Otherwise you may have to wait until open enrollment to drop. If you want to add yourself to your spouse or partner's coverage check first but you may be able to do that when you drop rather than have to do it during his or her open enrollment period. Again, check first before you do anything.

How can you continue getting insurance coverage for the pre-existing condition of terminal cancer after a divorce if the policy is in your husband's name?

the first way to do this is to obtain COBRA coverage. When your divorce became final, your ex-spouse was able to drop your coverage. Federal law is that all insureds can continue coverage with COBRA. Your insurance company or ex-spouse's employer should have sent you paperwork explaining what your rights are. But be aware, with COBRA, you are paying the full premium for the continued coverage.


Can an employee drop their health insurance coverage when it isn't their open enrollment to join their spouses coverage at their spouses open enrollment?

You can but it is unwise because you need to know when you would be covered by the spouse's health plan. Some plans have 3 and 6 monthj waiting periods. So it is wise to keep your insurance, sign up on the spouse's insurance then later on after you have your new coverage in effect you could drop your employer's plan. Some employers however "require" their employees to be covered or are paying for the coverage. Check with your employer about that. Some employers will also refuse to cover you again if you lose your husband's coverage. If the marriage is not is good shape it is a foolish to drop your own coverage in case there is a divorce. Sorry to mention it but is true.
