Safeguarding Spousal Maintenance with Life Insurance and Beyond | Episode 193
Have you ever considered what happens to alimony payments if life throws a curveball? Gain peace of mind as we explore how to ensure alimony or spousal maintenance awards are honored in a Colorado divorce. Our fictitious clients, Eric and Melanie Wolff, serve as a case study, guiding us through the intricacies of life insurance policies and other methods to protect spousal support payments against the unforeseen, such as death or financial instability.
In this short episode Ryan also gives insights into the legal framework of Colorado law 14-10-114, which governs the security of these payments. We discuss the criteria courts consider when assessing the need for life insurance, including the payer's age, health, and other financial obligations, as well as the cost and the term of maintenance.
