What does a clean break order actually mean?

Hi All, DP and his ex have been divorced for a few years now. At the time they didn't get a clean break order. I'm not entirely sure why not tbh, DP says it's because his ex said if he wanted it he would have to pay for it and he'd already paid thousands trying to get a divorce. I don't really understand what it means though? He has said if he comes into a large inheritance then technically she could put in a claim for it and take him to court her share. This worries me due to my life insurance policy, I would want it to go to DP but not if his ex wife can make a claim to some of it. Could somebody please explain to me what a clean break order would actually mean? He pays child maintenance at an amount they've both agreed on in mediation (with periodic reviews) but no spousal maintenance as he was only on just above minimum wage when they split. I don't know if that makes a difference at all?
