Ex spouse and life insurance

[acscat]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California
My court order states that I may obtain life insurance on my ex husband. How can I get one without him having to sign anything? Will the court order suffice as his signature?

I don't know of any life company that will issue a policy with your ex as the insured without the ex's approval - and a physical.

If that is the actual wording of the decree, it is very strange.
