Dear Quentin,
I live in Utah, and I have been seeing a married man for almost six years. No, I’m not ashamed. Although we both care greatly for each other, our relationship started as and remains a mutually beneficial one: money for me, companionship for him.
He has been my sole source of income for the last 5 years, paying every single expense I have, and he is happy to do so because he loves me and I provide an escape from his miserable home life (his words). He’s been married a long time, and his only child is grown.
He is much, much older than I am, and he recently set up a life-insurance policy of $100,000 with me as the beneficiary. His wife knows nothing of me or the policy. We’ve taken steps to ensure I can get a copy of his death certificate without his family knowing.
He is mentally sound (always has been) and in great health. I need to know if his wife would have any claim to that policy should she discover it after his death. What is the likelihood a lawsuit would be in her favor if she sued? Does it matter who makes the payments on the policy?

Dear Other Woman,
Shame is a terrible, destructive force in individuals and societies, and I would not wish that anyone.
Married life is more complicated than many people care to admit. Some marriages have “don’t ask, don’t tell” arrangements. Others are marriages of conveniences. And others keep one person is completely in the dark about their spouse’s infidelities. And, yes, some wives are probably glad to have time and space for themselves, and would rather others listen to their husbands.
To your question, Utah is an equitable division state,

If his home life is so miserable, why is he still there now that the child is grown?
No respect I tell ya.
I called my wife and said “Honey I was thinking about the last time we had sex and I’d like to get together with ya!’’.
She said “Who’s this?’’.
Yup, and take the policy out in her name and pay the premium herself.
So what is your name then? You are living a lie.
Do you live in Australia? Because if a married man dies and has been in a long term relationship with another woman, and she has been financially dependent upon him, she gets a considerable percentage of the estate.
True, did not think about that...
Instead of going the life insurance route, every year someone can pay someone else (it’s now) a $15k “gift”, tax free. And once it is given, it is non-refundable.
Even if his wife catches him and decides to nuke him in a divorce, that money remains his mistresses.
I would hazard to guess that as soon as she proposed such a deal, he would leave skid marks getting out of there, because he never had any intent, despite sweet words, of his mistress getting anything in the first place.
And sure as a gun, as soon as he dropped his first mistress, he would be looking for another gullible doughnut.
So first and foremost, his current mistress should collect enough evidence to prove they had an affair.
Would prefer to have others “listen to” their husbands.
She’s settling cheap. She should ask for half the guy’s social security benefits too.
Anyone can sue. Wife has no chance of getting the insurance policy.
I binge watch from time to time on Hulu.
He can change beneficiaries, she needs to be owner. Set up a funding source that cannot be messed with as well.
Exactly. There is no way the wife will ever get the 100K
Yep, a lying lecher like this will often lie to his whore too. “He only lies to everyone else, not me!” Foolish slut.
Unknown to his wife,who lived in the family homestead in Connecticut,he had a little piece on the side in Montana for whom he bought a house....in which he stayed while reporting on the beautiful Northwest.
It was only after his death that the wife learned about the house *and* that he had signed a document of some sort leaving it to piece-on-the-side at his death.
Long story short...the Montana Supreme Court ruled that the document he signed qualified as a will and that his piece-on-the-side was the rightful owner of the house.
Not much of a retirement plan for a prostitute.
Dear other woman,
Get a job.

I used to live and work there. I do know that Australia and NZ recognize what they call a “De-Facto” relationship, which for practical purposes, is like being “married”.
This strikes me as a big pantload of bad legal advice by an unqualified advice columnist.
