Its required!
In the state of Illinois when your a divorced couple, the non-custodial parent is or has to have health insurance coverage. So when my Boyfriend went through his employment they sent us this NC health insurance and we were worried about it being in the state of Arizona. We weren't sure if it would coverage not only here but also back in Illinois which is where his Children reside. He needs to find that out. I just wish they would push the issue with my own Son's Father as he hasn't had insurance in a long time on our Son. But I have insurance on him, but I found out last night that my Son got injured. That scared me!
