Hi...Can a judge order me to place my commonlaw ex gf back onto my work health benefits??
I work and live in Ontario
Before you worry what a judge may do, contact your work health benefit provider and see what their rules are. They may not allow you to keep her on considering you were not married and you are no longer together. Plus getting it in writing that way if it comes up you can say there is nothing I can do about it, its against the benefit providers policy.

Good point SOTS.
To further this point the insurance provider is a third party to the matters before the court. The justice in the matter cannot order a party to conduct business against their stated policy. To do so the justice would have to order them as a party to the case in the proceeding so they can defend their policy and business practices and bring their lawyer to represent them in the matter.
I second SOTSL advice to review the matter with the insurance provider and to get a clear understanding of what their policy is regarding common law and separation issues in the immediate to get a better understanding.
The policy of your insurance provider is what you should investigate first.

so basically what I'm getting here is the judge can take in her medical expenses and factor it into my spousal support??..
even though when we met, she had NO health benefits at all prior to my arrival...
I've already taken the ex and her daughter off my work health benefits..It was a suggestion brought up by my lawyer (again she claimed I would be boardering insurance fraud).
I'm wondering (after checking with my insurance company) if I'm able to offer my health benefits once again during our mediation,
hey firhil...thanks for that...again I guess I'll have to discuss with my insurance company 1st (how does one ask that question??)..any idea what the insurance company was??...was he slef employeed or was it through his company??
