She could contest it, but it would be a futile effort, as any person has the right to change beneficiaries even if they are happily married but choose not to name their spouse. If such a stipulation was in the dissolution of marriage petition, the ex spouse would have to file suit in an attempt to enforce it. Filing such a lawsuit is relatively simple, winnng is a whole different matter.

Can a claim on your dead husbands estate also include life insurance to spouse?

If the life insurance policy had listed as the beneficiary the spouse only then it is not considered part of the estate and is not subject to claims. If the beneficiary is the estate then it is subject to claims. The only problem with the spouse being the only beneficiary is if she was a party to the claims personally then perhaps she and the proceeds from the life insurance could be subject to these claims.
