Can I Get Life Insurance On My Ex? 
Yes you can -LRB- assuming it 's a former spouse -RRB- . It 's typically seen as part of a divorce agreement for alimony purposes and/or protection of the children of the former spouses . In this type of scenario , the amount and length of coverage required to be placed in force will be determined in the divorce agreement . The ex-spouse must agree to have a life insurance policy taken out on them and there must be an insurable interest , a carrier wo n't approve a policy without these two components . I hope the information is helpful - please feel free to contact me for help and if you have any other questions . Thanks very much .
