Can I Take Out Life Insurance On My Ex-Husband? 
Can you take out life insurance on your ex ? Yes , there are a couple of ways that you could go about this . The first way is with their consent . The EX spouse would have to agree to be insured and you could be the owner . The second way , which in Divorce situations is probably the most common , is have the court require the ex spouse to carry life insurance for a certain number of years and a certain face amount to ensure future support payments if an early death occurs .
