Hi ont2005,
Most separation agreements will have a clause under the life insurance section that stipulates that if life insurance is no longer available to the child support payor through employment, he/she is to immediately obtain replacement coverage at a reasonable cost.
If that is not in your agreement, you may want to try discussing the matter with your ex. Clearly life insurance is for the benefit of the children, so hopefully he will see this and agree to obtaining life insurance outside of his employment. If this happens, you and your ex spouse should execute an amending agreement outlining the details of the new policy.
