Q: mother and father never married. child born out of wed lock. Father does not have any contact with child EVER but does pay mandated child support. by law (NYS) is the father obligated to provide life insurance for the child and name the child 100% beneficiary.
A: David's Answer: Pursuant to FCA Sec. 416(a), the Court MAY order a parent to take out a life insurance policy, but same is neither automatic nor mandatory. Schedule a consult with a Family Law attorney in your area for more info. -- David Bliven, Westchester Family Law attorney (www.blivenlaw.net)
