David Hasselhoff's Ex -- Over Your Dead Body!

David Hasselhoff's ex, Pamela Bach, wants to make sure ... if David croaks, the spousal support keeps a comin'.

Pamela has asked the judge in their never-ending divorce for an order, requiring David to maintain life insurance, which would pay her support if David dies. There's actually a law in California giving judges the power to make such an order -- seriously!

But David doesn't want to shell out the dough for the life insurance, claiming it wasn't part of their divorce deal.

So until death do us part doesn't really mean that ...who knew?
