Generally it is ok for you each to have your own policies but if either of you drive each other's vehicle more than occasionally, you should be listed as an occasional. As a Broker, I can suggest that you would save a good bit of money and hassle if you just both join one policy. There are discounts for multi-vehicle that you would be entitled to.
Most of your main insurance companies such as Blue Cross Blue Shield as well as State Health Care have maternity coverage. Some vary as to rather or not they cover the pregnancy if you obtain the coverage after becoming pregnant.
It means you each have a different insurance company. If you had both HMO dental coverage and Delta Dental (and the veteran in me has to ask: "for God's sake, WHY Delta Dental?") active at the same time, that would be dual coverage.
Insurance companies typically have specific rules about who they will and won't cover. You may find that a step son is eligible for insurance coverage if he is living with you. In this instance, the child does not appear to have a legal relationship with either you or your husband, so if you want to cover him you may need to buy an individual policy.
When ever a driver is excluded on a policy, the insurance company will not pay out on any claims when that person is driving. Hes excluded, he has absolutely no coverage with your insurance. If he has his own policy with a different company, he will be covered. So in general when a driver is excluded, their is no insurance coverage. Its like he was driving without insurance.
If you both have coverage the wife's policy will be primary, and the husband's will be secondary - provided the wife is covered under the husband's policy. Submit the unpaid claims to the secondary carrier.
Yes! If she has a state-funded insurance also, the husband's coverage will be secondary.
I'm sure there are several auto insurance companies that will allow you to exclude your husband. You need to know what exactly this means. It means that if he drives one of the vehicles on your policy for any reason at all that there will be no coverage provided by your policy. In exchange for this exclusion you will not be charged anything based on his driving record. Remember that it makes no difference if you get back together for a weekend, if there is an emergency and he drives you to the hospital, if his car is torn up and you let him borrow it, there is no coverage until after the exclusion is lifted by the insurance company. You do not have the authority to lift it yourself, only the company can. If you still want to do this I recommend that you go see and independent insurance agent who represents many companies and let them search for the best rates and coverage of companies for what you want.
This may vary between companies. I write applications for BlueCross BlueShield of Florida, and neither the expectant mother nor expectant father is eligible for coverage until after the baby is born. Also, the baby itself needs to be six weeks old before it will be eligible for coverage. You can check with the different companies, but be upfront with the agent to save yourself the time of completing the application process only to be declined.

No. The medical payments to others coverage specifically excludes medical coverage for the named insureds and any houshold members. Health insurance is the only coverage that will cover this type of loss.
If the fiancée has Blue Cross Blue Shield and the husband has the same, I am sure that they will allow her to be added to his insurance policy. If the pregnant fiancée uses a different insurance company, then she may or may not be allowed to be added to the husbands insurance policy. Again, this varies case to case because of the different policies different individuals have. For the most accurate information, please contact your insurance representative. The pregnancy would be a pre-existing condition, so many insurance companies would not cover the costs. You should call the insurance companies involved to get an official answer.
Absolutely, yes. Most likely the family of the other person(s) killed will try to go after your husband's auto insurance coverage and potentially some of your homeowner's insurance coverage. Just because your husband was killed doesn't end his potential liability (if any) in the crash.
