Divorce and Health Insurance?
I am finishing off my divorce, have not worked in 8 years, no degreee, need health insurance, i don’t want to ask my lawyer this. If we go through the process of all the divorce proceedings, support splitting assets and agree to that and not sign the final papers so i can stay on his health insurance would that be a bad thing. Or sign the papers and not tell the company we are divorce (i know this is insurance fraud) but he works for a rather large company that really has no process to find this out. Help.
Illegal to submit claim to health insurance that someone else paid for with no intention of reimbursing them?
My ex and I are to split uninsured health care costs 50/50. This means I pay them out of pocket and submit the receipts to him for reimbursement. He hasn’t paid me in 8 months and now I understand he is planning to submit the receipts to his insurance (which I was unaware that he had) to see if they will pay them, even though he has not paid anything out of his pocket.
Is this legal? It would seem that would be fraud.
Do you think this guy is doing the right thing?
A television producer is suing dog trainer Cesar Millan, star of TV’s “The Dog Whisperer,” claiming that his Labrador retriever was injured at Millan’s training facility after being suffocated by a choke collar and forced to run on a treadmill.
In a lawsuit filed Thursday in Superior Court, “8 Simple Rules” producer Flody Suarez says he took 5-year-old Gator to the Dog Psychology Center on Feb. 27 to deal with fears of other dogs and strangers.
Hours after dropping the dog off at the facility, Suarez claimed a worker called to inform him the animal had been rushed to a veterinarian. He later found the dog “bleeding from his mouth and nose, in an oxygen tent gasping for breath and with severe bruising to his back inner thighs,” the lawsuit claims.

The facility’s workers allegedly placed a choke collar on the dog, pulled him onto a treadmill and forced him to “overwork.” Suarez says he spent at least $25,000 on medical bills and the dog must undergo more surgeries for damage to his esophagus.
A call to the Dog Psychology Center, also named as a defendant, was not immediately returned. A spokesman for National Geographic Channel, which airs Millan’s show, declined comment.
“As of this time, the National Geographic Channel has not been served with either lawsuit, and we do not comment on pending litigation,” said Russell Howard, the channel’s vice president of communications.
The complaint claims breach of contract, fraud, animal cruelty and intentional infliction of emotional distress, among other allegations. It seeks more than $25,000 in damages.
