Former Spouse Sample Clauses

The 'Former Spouse' clause defines how the rights, benefits, or obligations under an agreement are affected when a party has a previous marriage or civil partnership that has ended. Typically, this clause clarifies whether a former spouse is entitled to any benefits, such as insurance proceeds, pension rights, or inheritance, or if such entitlements are revoked upon divorce or dissolution. Its core function is to prevent unintended claims or confusion by explicitly stating the status of former spouses in relation to the agreement, thereby ensuring clarity and avoiding potential disputes.

Former Spouse. In the event of a divorce or a legal separation, the person who was the spouse of the subscriber prior to the divorce or legal separation will remain eligible for coverage under the subscriber’s group membership, whether or not the judgment was entered prior to the effective date of the subscriber’s group membership. This coverage is provided with no additional premium other than the normal cost of covering a current spouse. The former spouse will remain eligible for this coverage only until: the subscriber is no longer required by the judgment to provide health care coverage for the former spouse; or the subscriber or former spouse remarries, whichever comes first. Blue Cross and Blue Shield must be notified within 30 days of a change to the former spouse’s address. Otherwise, Blue Cross and Blue Shield will not be liable for any acts or omissions due to having the former spouse’s incorrect address on file. If the subscriber remarries, the former spouse may continue coverage under a separate membership within the subscriber’s group, provided the divorce judgment requires that the subscriber provide health care coverage for the former spouse. This is true even if the subscriber’s new spouse is not enrolled for coverage under the subscriber’s group membership. As determined by the plan sponsor, the subscriber may have the option to enroll an eligible domestic partner under his or her group membership. To determine if this eligibility option applies to you, you must contact your plan sponsor. A “domestic partner” is a person with whom the subscriber has entered into an exclusive relationship. This means that both the subscriber and domestic partner: are 18 years of age or older and of legal age of consent in the state where they reside; are competent to enter into a legal contract; share the same residence and must intend to continue to do so; are jointly responsible for basic living costs; are in a relationship of mutual support, caring, and commitment in which they intend to remain; are not married to anyone else; and are not related to each other by adoption or blood to a degree of closeness that would otherwise bar marriage in the state in which they live. A “domestic partner” may also include a person with whom the subscriber has registered as a domestic partner with any governmental domestic registry (whether or not all of the conditions stated above have been met). If the subscriber enrolls an eligible domestic partner under his or her group membershi...
