Is there any way that I can stop my ex-wife from re-contacting and just leave me alone?
As part of my divorce 9 years ago, I gave my company paid life insurance to my ex as the sole survivor. After I remarried she asked for proof that it was still that way. I gave that to her and she stated that since I would not give my company benefits section permission to call them at any time to ask about it, she would be contacting me to do this from time to time. I told her that I gave her the confirmation and just wanted to be left alone and that she is no longer a part of and has no business getting into my benefits.

Maybe you should take the divroce to your attorney and see if there is any way you can purchase a spearate policy to benefit her that is comparabe to your company policy that she can have access to. I can surely see that you would not like to give her access to your HR department but she is just protecting her interests, especially since you remarried. Also, check the redesignation laws in your state for life insurance. Some states require that you redesignate a divroced spouse after divorce otherwise the benficary designation is void. Good luck.
