This is something you will need to discuss with your divorce attorney. The spouse may ask for it, but whether it is a legal requirement is another matter.

Agreed.

If it isn't in the order of dissolution, you can change your beneficiary to the "St. Gertrude Home for Wayward Housecats" if you want.
