Decisiones judiciales sobre el seguro de vida en obligaciones de manutención

Explicación Simple

Cuando un padre tiene que pagar manutención, el seguro de vida puede contar como parte de ese apoyo. Si un padre tiene un seguro que cubre a sus hijos, eso se puede incluir en lo que debe pagar.

Es como cuando tienes que llenar una jarra con agua. Si le pones un seguro de vida a tus hijos, es como agregar más agua a esa jarra, aumentando lo que debes dar para su cuidado.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que Juan y María se separan. Juan tiene que pagar manutención para sus dos hijos. La corte decide que el costo de su seguro de vida, que protege a los niños, se incluye en lo que debe pagar cada mes.

JUDICIAL DECISIONS Premium properly included as part of support. - Mother's premium for life insurance for her two minor children, custody of whom was awarded to the father, was counted as a part of the support ordered pursuant to the provisions of O.C.G.A. § 19-6-15 of the Georgia Child Support Guidelines. Moon v. Moon, 277 Ga. 375 , 589 S.E.2d 76 (2003). Premium excluded from guidelines. - Trial court did not abuse the court's discretion by declining to consider the cost of the life insurance in calculating a parent's child support obligation because the evidence indicated that a parent's company, rather than the parent, paid the premiums on the parent's life insurance policies. Simmons v. Simmons, 288 Ga. 670 , 706 S.E.2d 456 (2011). Order that child past age of majority be named beneficiary of life insurance policy improper. - Order requiring the husband to maintain a life insurance policy with the four children of the marriage named as equal beneficiaries was improper because the couple's eldest child had reached the age of majority when the judgment was entered, and there was no evidence of a voluntary obligation by the husband to assume a support obligation that exceeded the husband's legal duty. Mongerson v. Mongerson, 285 Ga. 554 , 678 S.E.2d 891 (2009), overruled on other grounds, 288 Ga. 670 , 706 S.E.2d 456 (2011). Parent required to maintain life insurance benefiting child.
