Yes, you’ll be ordered by the judge to retain life and health insurance policies for your spouse and children after you’ve been served with divorce papers.
This is one provision in the automatic orders that are issued at the time of the filing, and among other things, you’ll be required to protect physical assets like furniture and cars, as well as financial instruments like credit cards and retirement and investment accounts.
If you take actions that make the courts believe you have emptied accounts or canceled insurance coverage as a way of retaliating against a spouse seeking to divorce you, you may not like the consequences.
To understand both your obligations and your options after your spouse has filed for divorce, call the Rochester divorce attorneys at 585-484-7432 today and talk to a lawyer for free.
