18.1. For the purposes of section 18, if the father and mother or the parents of a child do not share the same domicile, the parent with whom the child is domiciled must ensure that coverage is provided to the child.
However, if the parent with whom the child is domiciled is an eligible person to whom section 15 applies and the child’s other parent is required to be a member or qualifies for coverage under a group insurance contract or an employee benefit plan, that other parent must ensure that coverage is provided to the child as a beneficiary under the contract or plan.
If the father and mother or the parents of a child are eligible persons to whom section 15 applies and the spouse of the parent with whom the child is domiciled is required to ensure that coverage is provided to that parent, the spouse must also ensure that coverage is provided to the child.
