Q: Wondering about my exhusband and what to do if he changed his life insurance beneficiary to his new wife?
This is what our MSA states: LIFE INSURANCE. Effective as ofthe date of final hearing, each party shall continue to
maintain (a) the life insurance available through his or her employment and (b) the current
NML policies on their respective lives (which have present death benefits ofat least $500,000
for each ofthe parties), forthe sole benefit ofthe parties’ children. This provision shall remain
in effect until all of the children are adults and have graduated from high school. In order to
effectuate this provision, each party shall name the minor children, or a trust forthe sole benefit
ofthe minor children, as sole beneficiaries on the afore-mentioned life insurance. A party shall
provide proof of the insurance coverage and beneficiary designation in writing to the other
party within 10 days of receiving a request for that information.
A: If he has changed it, you need to file a motion for contempt.
