If your wife is the insured life in the policy, then the insurance company is right about what they have told you regarding making changes in the it. The policy holder is the only authorized person to make changes in the policy. Now, if you want your name removed from it, contact your wife and tell her to do that. Frankly, I see no issues even if she continues with your name as the beneficiary on her life insurance.

I think you are more worried about those money already invested on policy. You must not be interested in cancelling or continuing with the policy. Yes, but unfortunately, you should have clarified this issue in front of attorney. Today, the best way is to ask for compensation for those previously paid premiums with your wife and I feel it's upto you, how you handle that!

SWEETMISSY.........can you start a policy in YOUR name, only? The only thing I can suggest to do is make it clear you no longer want your name on the policy. (Thinking outloud here..) I woudn't think it would REALLY matter whether your name is on it or not....are you a Beneficiary on the policy?..or, are you just ON (lack of a better word) the policy?

OK....I'm a bit confused. If you are NOT the Insurance policy holder, then how can your wife put a Beneficiary on YOU? Do you mean HER Beneficiary is her sister and you are on the policy? See.........she can't get a policy for you (at least I don't think she can) without your permission.

the policy was taken out about 5 yrs ago. I just want to cancel it . I gotta say I fear for my life and told insurance co. that .the divorce was extremely bitter and awful .She has done everything in her power to make my life hell

Ok.......but, you STILL din't answer my question ( I don't mean to be harsh, I'm sorry if I seem that way). :roll: SHE took out an Insurance policy on YOU? If you BOTH took out the policy, then why is HER the only name as the policy holder? I'm just 'not getting it'...I'm sorry. How do you fear for your life?!

I am only listed as the primary insured. She is listed as the owner

She is extremely unstable and will do anyhting for a buck (400,000) is a lot.I just want to drop it completely.She is not cooperating. She refuses to drop me.Can I just represent myself in court and have a judge make her cange it?

If SHE is the policy holder and YOU are the "Primary Insured", that means if something happens to her, YOU will get her Insurance policy..NOT the other way around. ForExample: If I had a Life Insurance policy and I had a "Primary" name on the policy, that means if something happened to me, the "Primary" person would get the money.
