No. A divorce decree is permanent. In some jurisdictions there is a waiting period before the decree will become absolute. If the couple decides to get back together during that period they can notify the court and the divorce decree will become extinguished. Once the waiting period has passed and there has been no such action the decree is absolute and and the terms and provisions in the decree are final and binding forever unless modified by the court.

Is there a statute of limitations on demanding to be a benificiary of a life insurance policy that may or may not be part of a divorce decree?

If the divorce decree states that life insurance must be held naming the ex spouse as beneficiary (and any other conditions), then the ruling lasts until another court ruling. You are out of luck if you didn't get it added to the divorce decree in the first place. However, if you are parents of young children, it would serve you both well to hold a life insurance policy naming the other as beneficiary.

If you cannot be found or if you refuse to respond to a petition for divorce, that cannot prevent your spouse from obtaining a divorce. The important signature on a divorce decree is that of the judge. You should contact the court where the divorce was obtained and order a copy of the divorce decree. If you go in person, you can request to see the file and review the contents.
