Can I Take Out A Life Insurance Policy On My Ex Husband? 
Yes , you can take a policy out on your ex-husband if certain conditions apply . First , your ex will have to sign as the insured so unfortunately you ca n't get a policy without him knowing . Second , if you depended on his income or alimony this can be approved . If you have children with your ex as the father , then life insurance can be taken out . You will have a tough time getting a policy approved if it has been years since you have been married and if you do n't stand to lose anything .
