Can I ask my spouse to continue me as the beneficiary on his life insurance policy after divorce?

Yes, this is a pretty standard provision in divorce settlements, especially where one spouse is providing support for the other or for children of the marriage.  Because if anything were to happen to him, there goes your source of income. This answer is given in accordance with the laws of Virginia and may not be applicable in any other state.  It should not be construed as legal advice, as that would require a more thorough analysis of all of the facts involved in a specific case.  If you need further information or assistance, please feel free to contact my office for a consultation. Case results depend upon a variety of factors unique to each case. Case results do not guarantee or predict a similar result in any future case.
