we have been legally married for 16 yrs. he plans to divorce me. he has been living with a girlfriend for 1 1/2 yrs. we have 2 kids, he has taken me off as beneficiary to his life insurance. he has our kids and his mother on there with her getting 33% of everything. I am not listed at all because he plans to divorce me. do I have any recourse being that we were still married at the time he had this drawn up, and signed?

I doubt it, when you get an attorney for your divorce ask about that, you could always buy and pay for a policy on his yourself, making yourself beneficary, IF after you're divorced you still have an insureable interest.

Hi monajeffrey

Your husband has the right to change beneficiary and transfer that privilege to anybody he pleases. I don't think there is much that you can do. I haven't heard of any successful cases where someone fought to become beneficiary and won (legally).
