How do I remove someone from my car insurance policy?
My husband and I split up. We agreed that I could take one of the cars, but there's a bit of an issue: while the car title is in my name, my husband is on the insurance. How can I remove him from the policy?

“Divorces are always difficult, but thankfully, removing your spouse from your
car insurance
is surprisingly easy. First, you’ll first have to find out if you’re the primary or secondary name on the policy.If you’re the primary person on the car insurance policy, you’ll need to obtain written consent from your spouse to remove them from the policy. Some car insurers may require this letter to be notarized, but this is done at most banks and credit unions.
If you’re the secondary person on the car insurance policy, you can remove yourself from the policy and get your own policy, provided your name is on the title.
After you figure out which driver you are on the policy, you may find that you need new car insurance. One easy way to shop for coverage is through the
Jerry
