    Father Properly Ordered to Designate Child as Beneficiary of Life Insurance Policy.

    In the case of Watson v. Watson, the Virginia Court of Appeals, in an unpublished opinion, ruled that a trial court properly ordered father to designate child of parties as a beneficiary of all or part of his existing life insurance policy.  Virginia Code Section 20-108.1(D) clearly permits this.  The Court would not consider father's argument that such a ruling was "unfair" to father's two other children not related to the mother in this case because he failed to properly preserve the issue on the record at the trial level.
