AB 1297 mandates that all health, auto, and life insurance policies remain in place once a divorce petition is filed. This law prevents spouses from canceling or failing to renew essential insurance during the divorce process. As a result, children retain their health insurance and spouses maintain necessary coverage, reducing the risk of crisis stemming from legal loopholes. The bill reflects values of fairness and accountability, ensuring protections for families during vulnerable times and advancing California's family law.
My bill makes it the law that, when a divorce petition is filed, all existing health, auto, and life insurance policies must remain in place for the duration of the proceedings.
AB 1297 delivers what Californians deserve: certainty, fairness, and protection at one of the most difficult times in their lives.
AB 1297 is a major step forward for family law in California. It ensures our system puts people first, reduces unnecessary conflict in the courts, and holds both parties accountable to act in good faith.
This is a meaningful milestone—not just for me, but for the countless California families who now have stronger protections when they need them most.
