In many divorces that include provisions for alimony or child support, it is a common practice to include a stipulation that the supporting spouse should carry a life insurance policy. This can guarantee that the children will still be provided for should the supporting parent die. How long the policy is maintained depends on what the policy was intended for. If it was meant as security for child support, it can be terminated when the dependent children reach the age of majority. Life insurance policies can also be maintained for longer periods of time if the parent so chooses. If life insurance is required to guarantee alimony, it may continue for as long as the alimony payments are required.
When negotiating your divorce settlement, it is important to designate who will be the owner of the life insurance policy. This is a key factor because the owner controls the policy and has the right to name the beneficiaries. One way to insure that the policy is maintained as stipulated in the divorce settlement is to name the custodial parent as the owner of the policy. You can also include provisions in your settlement agreement that if the policy is allowed to lapse or if the beneficiary designation is changed, you or your children would be entitled to part of your ex’s estate equal in value to the death benefit.

It is important to have a plan for when things go wrong. Operational risks can lead to catastrophic financial losses. Examples are employee errors, system failure or natural disasters. It also covers protecting yourself and your business from fraud. Having adequate insurance is not always enough; you may be covered for the loss of items in a flood, but are you covered for the days your business is not operating? Contingency plans assess what happens if you business is down for an hour, a day, a week or month.
Knowing how you will fulfill orders whether you subcontract things and make lesser profit but retain customers is an essential part of mitigating operational risk. Talk to your insurance agent about adding a rider that covers you for down time as well as liability insurance should an employee defraud your company or your customers. If you are at risk for a computer system going down, look into a backup server and have IT personnel familiar with your system prepared to get to work if needed. These may be subcontractors who are familiar with the system but not on payroll unless needed.
