Can Child Support Take Life Insurance? 
Child support depends upon the person paying it to live . The children and the ex-spouse have an insurable interest in the person owing the child support . When the attorneyss hammer out the agreement the parent with custody should insist on two things , cooperation from her ex-spouse to secure life insurance , and that the child support include enough to cover the insurance premium in addition to other expenses . However , dont use transferred life insurance to do this job . Have the spouse with custody apply for the policy and be owner , payer and beneficiary . That way you know that the policy will be in force when death occurs . This has happened to my clients .
