A 35-year-old father of two wanted affordable protection until his children finished college. We secured him a 20-year, $500,000 term policy for less than $30/month. Now his family can rest assured that housing, childcare, and education will be funded if the unexpected happens.

FAQs: Life Insurance for Parents with Young Children
Why do parents with young children need life insurance?
Life insurance helps ensure that if something happens to a parent, the family has what they need—income to cover living expenses, mortgage or rent, childcare, schooling, and other long-term goals—even when the breadwinner is gone.
How much coverage should parents aim for?
A common guideline is 10-15× annual income plus major debts and future needs (like college or childcare costs). Also consider how long children will depend on you and what expenses might increase over time.
Term vs permanent policies—which works better?
Term life insurance is often more affordable and a good fit during the years children are young and dependent. Permanent policies cost more but offer lifetime protection and cash value; they can make sense if planning for estate or legacy goals.
Should I add children-riders or other riders?
Yes—child riders can be a cost-efficient way to add small coverage for children. Other riders like accelerated death benefit or waiver of premium can also help protect you and your family in unexpected scenarios.
How do costs vary based on age, health, and coverage amount?
Premiums are lower when you apply younger and healthier, with minimal risk factors. Higher coverage amounts increase costs, but locking in a lower rate earlier can lead to substantial long-term savings.
How can I balance affordability with enough protection?
Focus your coverage on income replacement, major debts, and essential future costs. Use term policies timed to milestones (e.g. until children are self-sufficient). Shop quotes across carriers. Review annually—health or income changes can make upgrades more affordable later.
Diversified Insurance Brokers specializes in helping high-risk applicants secure coverage, even after serious health conditions.
