My divorce decree says that my ex wife and I have to name each other as the beneficiary for our minor child. She passed away and didn't do this. How do I go about getting this corrected?

First, you should contact the legal department of the insurance company that holds your ex-wife's policy and arrange to send a certified copy of your divorce decree. The company may not have to honor the decree if it is not from your state. If you encounter any problems you should contact the attorney who represented you in the divorce for advice.
