Can You Have Life Insurance On An Ex-Spouse? 
Yes , if you have some insurable interest , such as getting payments from that person . If that is the case , then there is absolutely no reason not to get such a policy for your own protection , if the court order could be read or interpreted to extend such payments past death -LRB- which is very rare -RRB- . However , you also must inform the ex that you are getting such a policy . Thank you . GARY LANE .
