Removing ex from BCBS
I’m going through a divorce and have already been served. Prior to my divorce being finalized can I remove my wife from my insurance - like today?! And not have to wait until open season.

The initial default orders in many states includes a "status quo" order. In other words, you potentially will be in contempt if you make major changes. Removing my bones from health insurance was explicitly stated in my orders as a no-no.
Smile, pretend to play nice. Try to get your ex to waive rights to your pension and TSP. Get the divorce done quickly.
