Is there a recourse for a wife of 23 years to claim a life insurance policy that has the ex wife as the beneficiary?

Not if the ex-wife has any insurable interest in the ex spouse. If you could prove that the ex no longer had any insurable interest, and did not pay toward the policy itself, then it might be possible to challenge it in court. It would be a very difficult case to win in any case, because the owner of the policy had the ability for years to change the beneficiary of the policy and did not exercise the option, and it is impossible to know what their wishes were.
