I got a divorce in Texas a couple years ago, and as usual, one of the requirements for me was to keep insurance on the kids (kids live with my ex). I now live in California, where I was laid off a little over a year ago. I am at the end of my COBRA benefits and I need to seek individual insurance for the kids. But here's the problem, since I live in California, and the kids live in Texas, I am having a really hard time finding insurance for them. Two agents I have talked to have told me that Texas does not allow child-only medical plans...there needs to be an adult on the plan. I can't be on it, because I don't live in Texas, and I wouldn't be covered under any benefits here in California, so it would be pointless.
What can I do? I have to provide insurance, but no insurance will provide coverage.
Side note: Dealing with my ex is more than likely out of the question. She makes everything extremely abrasive, if not impossible.
Thanks for any feedback you can provide!
