He wants her off his insurance

My GM is in the midst of a very nasty divorce. Of course he wants to stop paying for her health benefits. I am fairly positive that there are obstacles to doing this. I am dreading having to tell him so because (as we say around the office pertaining to him) busts a rivet when the subject of his divorce is brought up (always by him though, we just have to deal with the results).
What options can I give him?
any advice to prevent rivet busting would be GREATLY appreciated

I probably would want some documentation showing that he is not obligated to maintain the insurance. Many divorce settlements stipulate responsibilities for insurance, medical bills, kids...even the family dog!!
I doubt the employer could be liable if she was removed. You may just end up with a nasty gram from her attorney telling you to put her back on.
The important part is to not find yourself in the middle of this. Requiring documentation before making changes might be the best for everyone. 8-|
Thanks for letting me share.
This was a topic in the past that had lots of good input.

Balloonman is right. There have been some interesting discussions on this subject. I just did a search -- in the search function below left -- for "divorce insurance" (now there's a concept) and came up with a number of links to previous discussions. Hope this helps. tk

Good luck being the bearer of bad news!
You have no need to be concerned, it really is not the business of the company until the court makes it your business. When it is the court's business it is, likewise, your business.
So smile and get the blank form to him and offer your help and attention so that he gets it done right the first time and you don't have to face him any more on this issue!!!
