Can I Take Out A Life Insurance Policy On My Ex Husband? 
That is a great question ! You can , assuming that two things can happen : First , your Ex needs to agree , and sign off on the policy . Without his signature , the answer is no , you can not . The second is that you can prove to the insurance company that if he were to pass away , you would lose money . So if you had a clean break , no still shared bills , kids , etc. , and y' all walked away free and clear , then the answer again is no . If he shares child custody/support , or you own property or shares of a business , etc. , then the answer is yes , with his agreement , you can . If you need help sorting it out , please feel free to contact me , if I can help , I will . Thanks for asking !
