As long as you hold a valid drivers license, you usually can
obtain motor vehicle insurance as long as meet the insurance
companies underwriting requirements, such as no tickes, no
accidents, no suspensions, and do not ow any insurance company
money. If you are young, usually the premium is high.
The idea behind letting a minor enter in to a insurance contract
is one of the few contracts a minor can enter in. Because if you
have a license to drive, you need insurance.

If a minor child living with a custodial parent gets into a wreck and the custodial parent canceled the minor from the policy can the non custodial parent be liable?
No. The parent with custodial rights is totally liable
especially since the child was living with you while it
happened.
Answer
That depends on several factors such as why the coverage was
canceled, when it was canceled, who allowed the child to drive the
car, whether the issue is addressed in the separation agreement,
etc. If the custodial parent canceled insurance coverage for a
reason and the non-custodial parent allowed the child to drive in
spite of the cancellation, the non-custodial parent may be liable.
If the child wrecked a car and as a result the custodial parent
canceled the insurance coverage so they could no longer drive, the
non-custodial parent would be liable if they continue to allow the
child to operate a vehicle.
