What Happens To Life Insurance During Divorce? 
It will depend on how the divorce is structured . As an Insurance Agent and not an attorney I wo n't attempt to tell you what the laws says regarding divorce . What I will offer is some suggestions as to what could happen ; 1 -RRB- Nothing - present insurance in force prior to a divorce does not change because of the divorce 2 -RRB- Judge assigns insurance policy - a judge could order that the beneficiary for the policy be changed to support a divorcing spouse or children . He could also issue instructions as to how the cash value of a policy is to be distributed . I would consult an attorney for a more detailed answer .
