Is Life Insurance Marital Property? 
That is a great question ! That will depend on a couple of things - are you living in a State that has community property laws ? If so , then the court 's decision will most likely hinge upon where the money to pay the premiums came from . If your policy was paid up and you owned it before the marriage , you may get to keep it . If the premiums were paid for out of your communal funds , you may not be so lucky . There are a handful of States that have what is called `` the last payment rule '' - whoever made the last payment has the ownership of the policy . Check with a family law specialist in your State , and see if they can help you determine the answer . I hope things work out for you . Thanks for asking !
