[QUOTE="donna723, post: 312950, member: 1883"] I never had anything official when my kids were younger, but I probably should have. When they were little they would have gone to my brother and his wife who were like second parents to them anyway, but H's family would have fought for them too. I was really careful though when I got divorced - my son was 15 and my daughter was 20, almost 21. If anything had happened to me, there is no way my son would have agreed to live with his dad! Had anything happened, he would have gone to live with his sister who had moved back to Florida. And even though the divorce agreement said we were both supposed to have both kids as joint beneficiaries on our life insurance, I made my daughter the sole beneficiary on mine. I made her the sole beneficiary on everything I had - life insurance, 401k, the pay off on my leave balances at work - everything - not that I had a lot. But that way my sons' half would have gone to her to administer for him - not to his father for him to spend on his [I]new[/I] wife and [I]her[/I] kids! Then when my son was old enough, I changed it all back again to make them joint beneficiaries. I felt a lot better about it that way. [/QUOTE]
