Life Insurance to Secure Alimony and Child Support Payments: Is it Worth it?

Written by Bruce Feinstein, Esq. on . Posted in Divorce Blog

Properly securing life insurance during a divorce proceeding ensures that alimony and child support are paid, even upon the death of a former spouse. The peace of mind and financial security it brings are just some of the many benefits of this agreement.

The divorce process in New York centers its focus on the division of assets between spouses and the structure of care for their children. This can be legally enforced through alimony and child support payments. But what about the unforeseen consequences that may occur outside courtroom? What if the paying spouse dies – what happens to the financial support of the surviving spouse and children? We recently addressed this question with clients and families the Queens area, and want to provide some helpful information about ways to maintain your family’s financial security.

Divorce and Its Effects on Credit Scores – And How to Protect Them

Getting a divorce in New York can wreak havoc on a person’s credit score, but there are ways to prevent this from happening.

Filing for divorce and undergoing the divorce process can have an effect on everything from a person’s home and family to his or her personal finances. One important impact to understand is what divorce can do to a person’s credit score. A March 2015 press release published by Edmunds.com referenced a study of 526 divorced adults, and it concluded “31 percent suffered a credit score drop following the break-up of their marriage.”

This study’s sobering results were an example of how unwittingly unprepared couples can be when they start to go through the divorce process. So we decided to take a look at ways people can protect and raise their credit scores after a divorce through smart financial decisions.

A recent court case on this topic encouraged our office to shed more light on the subject of dealing with end of life issues and divorce.

Divorce and Immigration

Dealing with divorce from a foreign spouse, including ways spouses can protect themselves and their assets.

Many people marry spouses that are not U.S. citizens, whether it be for love, or – fraudulently – as a way for their spouse to gain permanent U.S. residency, also known as a green card. As stated in to a recent article by USA Today, “About 1 million foreign nationals gain legal status each year, and fully one-fourth of those are through marriage to an American citizen or someone who already is a lawful permanent resident, known as a green card holder. Of those, some estimate 5% to 15% may be fraudulent.”

Marriages involving a foreign spouse can fall apart just like marriages between U.S. citizens. But they bring with them a new set of issues that spouses need to consider. In this post we focus on clients and people who are going through divorce from a foreign spouse, including talking about on ways spouses can protect themselves and their assets.
