Always request Life Insurance on the life of the maintenance Payor, (usually the ex-husband), so that in the event the Payor dies prematurely, the recipient (usually the ex-wife) ex- spouse will have funds to help support her or him. In most cases maintenance/alimony stops when the payor (usually the ex-husband) dies, leaving the surviving spouse with no income to support herself.
Some attorneys and judges may tell you that a court cannot require life insurance on the Payor's life to insure support for the surviving spouse. The law is not settled on this point, so ask for it, in fact, demand it.
