What will happen to my child support if my ex-husband passed away? ?

I have no contact with him, and he hasn't spoken to the children in a couple of years. My support is late, and I was wondering what would happen if he has passed. He has remarried, and has 2 stepchildren now. There is no doubt in my mind that his biological children are not on his life insurance policy if he even has one. Would his current wife have to give my children a portion? Just curious, and no I am not planning to kill him, lol.What will happen to my child support if my ex-husband passed away? ?
This sounds like a huge legal issue.


I would consult with a lawyer just to make clear of your children rights.


If he passes way the child support terminates.


If he passes away, his biological children usually qualify for SSI benefits, (as long as he is on their birth certificates).

It really depends on where you live; varies from state to state. I am sure that you had an attorney...call him! Ask these questions and get it resolved! Ask about getting a life insurance policy with her named as the beneficiary in the amount of child support and college fees that he would have paid should something happen to him; ask about 401k; asset distribution in case of death; and if there is a will? Go through the courts and make this happen with an attorney. Tell you ex that it is not personal...it is all about you daughter!
you would apply for social security benefits while his bio children are still minors/in school.





leaving insurance to the 2nd wife and her kids (not his)


that could be contested and your children could be awarded 1/2 or all. second wives are pretty much not covered as first wives and bio kids. the state laws recognize these things.
Unfortunately, his new wife doesn't have to give you a portion of his life insurance benefits. However, if he passes while your children are still minors, you would be eligible to collect social security benefits for your children, until they are 18. Hope this helps!
The child support would cease, and no, his wife wouldn't have to give your children a portion. Unless he clearly named them as beneficiaries on his life insurance or in his will, they (and you) get nothing.
Unfortunately, his current wife's obligations to his biological children is probably only a moral one. Unless he made stipulations in his will for their continuing care, I'm afraid you may be at the mercy of her generosity (or lack thereof). Blessed Be!
In my seperation agreement my ex and I HAD to have life insurance of at least $50,000 and our daughter HAD to be the beneficiary. Nothing like this in your agreement?
social security would step in if they are contacted and the kids that are really his will split it up between them in the form of monthly payments.If he dies contact Social security they will be able to tell you the portions etc.
If the children are under the age of eighteen you can apply for social security benefits on his behalf.
If your kids are not legal bennificiaries of the Life Insurance they don't get nothing. Social security would send them a check every month until they turn eighteen or finish highschool
You'd probably have a good case to contest the disposition of his life insurance proceeds.
The divorce decree should have addressed the life insurance.





If he dies so does the child support.
Yes I do believe so, your children (which are his children) are just as much entitled to his estate as she is.
Only if it is written in that way, on beneficiaries.
Your children if they are under 18 will get social security checks from him.
Social Security.........
Social security will send a check. No she will not have to give you or the kids any of the life insurance
well he obviously cant pay child support if hes dead...and his wife didnt make the babies...
