Going through a divorce is an emotionally charged and challenging journey, especially for the person who didn't initiate the separation. Amidst the turmoil of divorce proceedings, it's essential not to lose sight of your children's financial well-being. In this blog series, we'll explore the crucial role that life insurance plays in securing your children's stability and security after a divorce.
A Parent's Responsibility Endures
When you have children, your responsibility to provide for them doesn't change, even in the face of divorce. Your dreams of supporting them through their formative years and ensuring their future education don't change. While circumstances may change, your intent to provide for your children's future does not.
Recently, I had a heartfelt conversation with a client who was grappling with his separation agreement proposal for his soon-to-be ex-wife. He expressed his unwavering commitment to his children's well-being. Until now, he relied solely on group life insurance through his employer. However, during our meeting, I recommended that he apply for an individually owned life insurance policy to include as part of his separation agreement proposal.
A Proactive Step Towards Security
Including a life insurance policy to cover child support and alimony obligations in a separation agreement proposal is a proactive step towards safeguarding your children's financial security. It serves as an act of good faith, demonstrating your commitment to being an active co-parent, regardless of the changes in your marital status.
Shared Responsibility: Dual Life Insurance Policies
To ensure that children receive the financial support intended from both parents after a divorce, it's advisable for both parents to carry term life insurance policies. These policies can be customized to provide for children throughout the duration of child support obligations, offering a safety net for their future.
