A woman finds out she’s still the beneficiary on her ex-husband’s life insurance policy, years after their divorce. He’s since remarried and had a child. When he passes away unexpectedly, she’s notified she’ll receive $100,000. Now the new wife is asking for the money… for their child.

In this episode, Jessica and Brandon break down the emotional, financial, and legal sides of this viral dilemma.

You’ll hear:

• Why updating your beneficiaries is crucial
• Whether it’s morally wrong to keep the money
• How to support a child financially without giving cash to an ex’s new spouse

For anyone navigating life after divorce, blended families, or financial planning, this is one you don’t want to miss.
