I'm eighteen, and I'm pregnant. My boyfriend and I really want to get married before the baby is born. The problem is, that I will lose my medical insurance if I get married. ( I'm covered under my parent's policy ) And both the baby and I are otherwise covered until I turn nineteen. My question is, would my medical insurance be able to find out that I'm married if we get a confidential marriage license, and would they even be likely to look into it ? <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
My response:
A "confidential marriage certificate" is not a public record (Ca Fam § 511(a)--not open to public inspection except by court order for good cause shown); and the date of the marriage, as well as any other information contained in the certificate, "shall not be disclosed" except upon court order (Ca Fam § 511(c) & (d)). However, if the insurance company should find out; e.g., through an inspection of the birth certificate, or some other source, that there was a marriage and insurance fraud is involved, they could Petition the court to have the records unsealed, and then go after you for the fraud.
Good luck,
