Can life insurance be canceled due to divorce?

by seeshel38 » Tue Jun 12, 2012 11:02 pm

I live in MI. My ex husband and I purchased a life ins. policy some years ago. Since I was the younger of the us it was placed in my name as the owner with him as a rider alonger with the children. I kept the policy and cont to pay on it. He has now passed away. I have submitted the paperwork to the claim department. Now they are requesting the divorce papers along with the settlement. What does this mean. Because we've been divorced, but I own the policy can they refuse to pay

It does not appear that Kentucky has enacted such a law. Next door, the State of Ohio has.

Is Wisconsin one of the states where all beneficiary designations of life insurance are null and void once a divorce is finalized?

Wisconsin is one of the several community property states, and I believe it has adopted the termination of spouse as beneficiary rule that many other states have. As community property, there are other remedies available before a divorce becomes final when it comes to dividing the property.

Only if the premiums aren't being paid
