Often, the settlement agreement will state that the parties will equally share any costs not covered by insurance. The question in your case is whether the insurance you are purchasing was contemplated by the parties at the time the property settlement agreement or judgment of divorce was made. I suspect it was not, so the insurance would apply towards your half and more. Your question requires a careful reading of your document. If the document indicates that the insurance was not contemplated, you might want to also obtain a written confirmation from the other parent.
