After your divorce, it is important to change your beneficiary information on your accounts and policies to reflect your then-current intentions, so long as you are not violating any parts of your Divorce Agreement by doing so.

As pointed out in the post, language in your Divorce Agreement concerning your ex-spouse’s waiver alone will likely be ineffective, so don’t forget to update your beneficiary designations on your accounts and life insurance polices!
