What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? North Carolina
I'm divorced almost a year, but just now awaiting judge's decision on alimony and equitable distribution. In the settlement proposal, my lawyer and I forgot to ask to have my ex keep me as the beneficiary to his life insurance policy. I am the dependent spouse (29 year marriage), on psychiatric disability, and my only income is my meager disability payment and whatever the judge decides to award as alimony. I will never work again and if the ex dies, so will my alimony.
I don't know if it's too late to add that to the decision or not. Have not been able to catch my lawyer by phone to ask.
I read the couple of queries about taking out insurance on someone else. Since I am just about completely dependent on the alimony for income, I definitely have a vested interest in my ex's life. Can I take out a policy on him, w/o involving him (we are not on speaking terms) to help safeguard my future in the event that he should die and has changed his beneficiary??
