A teenager who did not "regularly live" with her father was not covered by his Nationwide automobile insurance policy, and the company therefore does not have a duty to defend her in a lawsuit, a federal judge in Pennsylvania ruled. The judge ruled that Heidi Krause was not a "relative" to her father as the term is defined in his insurance policy. After her parents were divorced, Heidi lived with her mother, and her father did not make child support payments or declare Heidi as a dependent.
