Young children from a first marriage may not need to be beneficiaries of life insurance
Q: My ex-husband has life insurance and he’s paying child support. It was a second marriage for him and a first marriage for me. We’re both in our 40s and have a four-year-old daughter, Amy. He also has a previous ex-wife and three sons and they are the beneficiaries to a life insurance policy he holds. Problem is, he does not include our daughter Amy as a beneficiary on that policy and refuses to add her, saying that the court will not let him. I don’t have life insurance and can’t afford to have it. Is there anything that I can do to have him include her as a beneficiary in his life insurance? Can he add her to a different policy? Can he do something in his will?
