Until you file for divorce and a Judgment of Divorce is issued by the court and filed with the County Clerk,
You are both considered still married , even if you entered into a Separation Agreement.
Thus, even after you enter into a Separation Agreement, your spouse will still be able to be covered under your health insurance,
