X called me yesterday from her doctor appointment to tell me that her health insurance had been cancelled even though she sent a check to my company to continue on the plan. We are too small a company for COBRA, but the state does require that a divorced spouse can still pay to be on the discounted group health care plan through my employer for up to 6 months. I told X that it probably is a small mistake on our health care provider end and there is nothing to panic about. I also told her to not go through me on this, but through our our front desk lady who deals with the health insurance provider directly.
The front desk lady told me today that she got a call from OM68 wanting her email address. He then sent a legal threatening email detailing all of the health care setup interactions. The office lady told him that my X needs to be the one conversing with her and that she will be covered as it must be a small mistake on the insurance provider.
I also talked with the escrow officer of my refinance today and she told me that OM68 talked with her about setting up the big payoff transfer to X's account.
There was another issue, besides IRA transfers that I need to resolve and that is a non-retirement stock account that X's attorney put in her column. It is all big losses and would benefit me more as a capital loss tax write-off if and when I sell. I have proposed to X that I buy her out of that account (which is still in my name). She wants to know more about the company shares. I told her if she wants some of the companies, she can open up her own stock brokerage account and buy them with the money I give her for the buy out. She of course said she will consult with OM68.
