Do I Need to Purchase Life Insurance to Secure My Child Support Obligation?
Under section 61.13(1)(c), Florida Statutes, a judge may require a party to purchase life insurance to cover his or her child support obligation in the event of a tragedy. However, an order to purchase life insurance is discretionary and will depend on the specific facts in your case.
To help you determine whether you will likely be required to purchase life insurance to secure your obligation, you should consult with a family law attorney.
