I have a granddaughter that is going to college, her mother would not help her in any way so she claimed independence from her mother, the daughter is 18 years old and a full time student. She found out recently that her mother has dropped her from her insurance so now she has no health care, is this legal? This is in the state of MI.
It may very well be legal. Did she file for emancipation through the courts before turning 18? And if so, did the judge order any support while she's in school? Your granddaughter should look into health plans offered by her college, they're usually pretty reasonable.
My child does not live with me and we do not talk.He is over 18 and i don't have to pay child support
anymore why can't i take him off my insurance.I have to pay for this and cannot afford it.

It is her health insurance she pays for, and she is in charge of who she puts on the family plan. Maybe she doesn't get along with him, and that is her decision. You need to quit whining, and he'll have to find another option, or get a FT job with insurance. You will not win a lawsuit as no law forces parents to cover adult children. They are eligible, it is not an obligation.

As an employee benefits manager I can assure you that it does cost the parent money to have the child on their insurance. Even if the premium impact is not much if anything, the actual claims cost can be tremendous. There could be financial reasons why the parent is no longer able to have the adult child on her insurance.
