Would be grateful for you advice.....
Divorce paperwork finalised after 2 years and the house being sold.
One issue is that I originally agreed to allow ex-wife to continue to take out and own our joint life insurance policy
The separation is acrimonious and continues to be so (malicious texts etc..) and we no longer have a mortgage together.
I would prefer we took out separate life insurance policies.
1) Is a judge going to allow me to vary the order or will they say tough you signed it
2) How do I vary an order? Any idea as to which form etc?

Hi Boycie...good to see you around again!
Unfortunately I know very little about the machinations of the divorce process but I would have thought you would need to return to court to ask for it to be varied. It might be a good idea to call the court and ask them what the formalities are.
Probably best to ask a solicitor on this one.
Is this a simple life policy (pays out only if you die) and she's paying for it? Or is it an endowment which has a cash value?
If it's the first, as long as it's not costing you anything, then your aim is to outlive her and you have the last laugh. Might be worth having a word with the insurance company to see what their stance is.
