1. You need a new keyboard. Apparently your key caps is stuck.

2. It doesn't matter what he signs if FL doesn't have legal separation. If he files for separation in a state which DOES recognize legal separation and you submit that paperwork to the insurance company, that should be sufficient.

3. Talk with someone else at the insurance company about your options. There is frequently an option where he can sign a paper saying that he is covered with insurance from another source and asking to be dropped from the policy.

4. Or you can file for divorce.

However, until the divorce is final, you won't be able to drop him from the insurance. Quite frankly, I don't recommend that you drop him prior to any divorce being final. If he does not have insurance from another source you could be looking at some serious martial debt if he ends up hospitalized for any reason.

She MAY be able to drop him if he has other insurance, but it will need the judge's approval. Since stbx said it's OK to drop insurance, that might be the case.
