Is this common in New York?

Couple of the lines on my divorce summons: "Judgment directing Defendant to maintain life insurance coverage on Defendant's life with Plaintiff to be designated as irrevocable beneficiary." "Judgment directing Defendant to maintain medical and dental insurance coverage for the benefit of the Plaintiff" Me=Defendant Wife=Plaintiff I have my reservations about those so I wanted to see if anyone had already had some sort of experience with these two. Thank you, JM

Being in NY has nothing to do with it. Your wife obviously just had a better lawyer. Get a decent lawyer and contest the terms, just make sure you have valid, logical reasons for not covering her insurance and letting her have your life insurance benefits. If she has been dependant on you--i.e. you were sole provider--she has a case, but you can definitely maintain that she is a grown woman and can provide these things for herself. Do you have children? If so, benefits should go to them. If not, you can give your benefits to someone else.
