Yes, a simple mistake in wording does not change the validity of the legal document. You and your husband will be divorced, but 3d parties such as social security, insurance beneficiary contracts, retirement, and the like will not recognize Sr's authorization on legal documents stating Jr's name. A motion nunc pro tunc ("now for then") is to be filed by Sr to correct the decree. It opens up no legal issues, and it is merely ministerial and used for mistakes such as this one.

Do you have to get ex COBRA after divorce if final papers state to only cover children on health insurance?

This is really a legal question for your divorce lawyer to answer. It depends on the actual wording of the divorce papers and how your lawyer structured the medical insurance coverage portion of the divorce. Cobra is simply a (very expensive) continuation of an employer group plan when you lose your job that provides medical coverage until you get a new job or you get an individual health plan outside of an employer.
