Yes, but not without your signature. If you had life insurance in force on you prior to your divorce and he was the owner and he wishes to continue paying and remain the benficiary then there is nothing you can do. If you have kids together then you both should have life insurance and name each other as beneficiaries for the benefit and welfare of the children until they are no longer minors. 4lfieguild

Can anyone contest a life insurance if you are not listed as a beneficiary?
No, only the policy owner (usually the insured) can decide who the beneficiary is on a life insurance policy. Life insurance has nothing to do with a will or estate distribution after someone's death. That's why it is imperative to keep the beneficiary section updated constantly based on the life changes; too many people who get divorced forget to update their life insurance beneficiary on the policy and benefit may go to the ex-spouse. Life insurance companies are bound by the contract that is the life insurance policy to only pay the beneficiary specified on the policy. If all beneficiaries specified on the policy are deceased, then the benefit will be paid to insured's estate.
