Legal Question in Family Law in Maryland

Life insurance requirements

My soon to be ex-husband wants me to pay for life insurance on myself and his lawyer says its legal that he would be ''owner'' of the policy. Once the divorce is final, how can they request that I pay for the insurance, demand a specific amount and then claim ownership of the policy?
