If question refers to whether or not the insurance benefit is subject to seizure for child support arrearages. If that is the case, the answer would be yes. Any monies garnered from the insurance benefit that belongs to the obligated parent would be subject to garnishment for child support arrearages. If the named beneficiary of the insurance benefit is deceased and the grandparent(s) are still living, they can legally have the policy amended and another beneficiary named. In that case the monies would not be a part of the deceased grandson's estate and not subject to probate action nor distribution for his debts.

Is asking the noncustodial parent for life insurance in which the particular child is the sole beneficiary a typical child support negotiation request?
Usually no, you can ask for a trust to be set up in the event that the non custodial parent dies, but you can not require a life insurance policy to be created with the child as the sole beneficiary. In this case, the non-custodial parent can choose anyone they want to. If you are worried about the noncustodial parent dying, I would suggest asking for a trust to be set up. he/she is not required to do it, as I have never heard of a court requiring that.Another PerspectiveLife insurance is usually made a part of separation agreements when the parents are represented by competent counsel. It is not unusual at all for custodial parents to be concerned that life insurance be maintained with the custodial parent or child being the beneficiary. Even if the parents divorce, the child should enjoy the benefits of having two parents since they brought her into the world and are responsible for her support. Whenever possible a minor child should have the benefit of life insurance to pay for support and education expenses in case either parent dies unexpectedly.
