It's driving me crazy but I can't find the thread of the user who said she is losing coverage due to divorce and her husband using it against her. You are eligible to continue your COBRA by an additional 18 months.

"Q14: Is a divorced spouse entitled to COBRA coverage from their former spouses' group health plan?
Under COBRA, participants, covered spouses and dependent children may continue their plan coverage for a limited time when they would otherwise lose coverage due to a particular event, such as divorce (or legal separation). A covered employee's spouse who would lose coverage due to a divorce may elect continuation coverage under the plan for a maximum of 36 months. A qualified beneficiary must notify the plan administrator of a qualifying event within 60 days after divorce or legal separation. After being notified of a divorce, the plan administrator must give notice, generally within 14 days, to the qualified beneficiary of the right to elect COBRA continuation coverage."
Hope the user sees this post. Sorry for the random post but I just found this info out and hope it helps.
