Gunny:
In my state, if you get a D, your family health insurance goes away at the end of the month. With a legal seperation, health insurance stays for the duration. Within the first year, both parties have to agree to convert to a D, after the first year, either party can say they want to convert to a D and it is automatic.

I am struggling with the notion that allowing her to keep her health insurance is giving her a soft landing and letting her eat cake, but I cannot bring myself to cut her off like that.
