Is a divorced man's child covered by the significant other's insurance plan?

Answer

As far as I know, in most states the significant other would have to legally adopt, or become the legal gardian of the child in question in order for that child to be classified as "dependant" on the significant other. Your significant other cannot approve medical procedures for the child, thus they cannot offer insurance on said procedures.

Answer

The short answer is no. Unless that significant other was the spouse, he could not extend coverage to the child.

Answer
