Many, if not all, policies require a copy of the divorce decree before a spouse can take the other spouse off of their insurance policy. My STBXW was unable to take me off of the health insurance without a divorce decree...and I was unable to remove her from being the beneficiary to my work retirement account withouit a divorce decree. It really pissed her off that she couldn't remove me from the insurance without one.
"Always go straight forward, and if you meet the devil, cut him in two and go between the pieces." - William Sturgis, clipper ship captain, 1830's.
