Who Will Underwrite Divorce Insurance?
What kind of financial insurance is available for people served with divorce papers, most of whom are men? There isn't any that I've been able to find. Could it be the risk of divorce is just too great, or catastrophic, for any potential insurer to underwrite? Have men just been conditioned to accept that risk, on penalty of being viewed as “unromantic?”
There’s nothing more “unromantic” than being served with divorce papers and having your life stolen out from under you.

SafeGuard Guaranty will underwrite Marriage Insurance
We prefer the term Marriage Insurance as opposed to Divorce Insurance since what you'd really like to do when you marry is insure the success of your marriage, and be rewarded for all that hard work...and it is hard work...instead of simply covering your assets if you become a statistic of divorce. Either way, SafeGuard Guaranty Corporation (www.safeguardguaranty.com) will soon be the first company in the world to offer real protection against the often financially devastating consequences of divorce and a simple way to create wealth for those lucky enough to have a successful marriage. You can find out more about SafeGuard by visiting the website.
Insurance is a good way to
Insurance is a good way to handle things which don't necessarily belong in legislation. The same way life-insurance doesn't pay out if someone murders their spouse, Marriage Insurance will probably have clauses in it to protect people from cheating spouses.
Belonging in legislation
I am of the opposite view. I believe that the government should take responsibility for how badly it has fucked over the institution of marriage and set about fixing it, rather than creating another gravy train for "interested third parties" - ie multibillion dollar insurance industries with their heavyweight lobbyists.
Can you imagine another set of lobbyists working our representatives to ensure a steady cash flow for yet another set of piglets sucking at the teats of the government's fucked up policies?
Say NO to marriage insurance and JUST DON'T MARRY!

No More,
Yeah, No more insurance. The insurance industry is nothing more than a scam. There is no way I would pay out more money to a company that will do NOTHING for me in my time of need. Just like now, I need to have surgery on my knee. Well, I have insurance! That should take care of me in my time of need right? Nope! They drag there feet, giving me excuses rather than help as to why they will not approve this or that. No more jumping through hoops for any more Government backed industries for me. Home, Car, and Medical insurance are all enough to turn me off of this idea from the word GO!
If you have to buy insurance for it...
... it means it's probably more trouble than it's worth. Insuring things is one thing-- they can't sue you or take all your earnings, you have to decide to sink all your cash into inanimate possessions such as cars and houses. But the car/house can't decide it doesn't like you anymore and leave you, sticking you with a huge what, "mini-house support bill" "Cupcake" can do so any time.
In some ways a prenup is a kind of "marriage insurance" but as we have seen, it doesn't really guarantee a thing. Nope, marriage is an institution and like any other it only survives if people *believe* in it. Once they stop doing so, it dies. No amount of insurance sales will change that. Marriage, as an institution of modern human society, is dead. Individuals may get married, but more often as not, they regret it and later reverse out of it. R.I.P.
Who will assume the risk for marriage? Will you?
I think we see it the same way. Marriage isn't worth the risk for a man, yet fools still marry. The fact they're really isn't any insurance company presently selling marriage/divorce insurance underscores marriage/divorce is not a risk any one wants to deal with.
