Do I Have To Keep My Spouse On My Life Insurance Policy If I’m Filing For Divorce?

April 11, 2014 by Marc Jacob

Yes, once divorce is filed, the court will issue what are known as automatic orders that are designed to “stop the clock” on actions you and your spouse may take to retaliate against one another.

One of these retaliations is cancelling important pieces of personal security, like life insurance and health insurance.

Aside from leaving insurance policies intact, the automatic orders will also prevent both spouses from running up debt on shared credit cards, emptying joint accounts, or cashing out retirement instruments like 401ks.

This is for the protection of both parties, but it may seem like you’re trapped by the courts.

It’s temporary, and with the right help, you’ll soon be free and clear to pursue the life you want.
