Inheritance and Divorce

[teeroy]

watched my pa go thru a couple divorces, first one from my mom wasn't too bad, 17 yrs of marraige, they reached an agreement and went their separate ways.

the second one was a knock down, drag 'em out battle for 6 years in the court system, the stepmother figured she should get half (or more) of everything my pa had accumulated even before they got together. judge said no way, but she was legally entitled to half the gain from the point they had co-habitated for 90 days. that included any lottery winnings or inheritances.

your screwed man, best way is to fill her in and hope for the best....or get her to sign away her dowry rights to your inheritance. good luck with that.

when my wife's parents passed away, they left her a sizeable inheritance. I happily signed away my dowry rights, so i must have had some right to claim a part of it in the event of a divorce.

my wife and I will have been together for 23 years in December.

First off I would like to say that my wife and I are not having any issues, however, I was curious if I were to recieve an inheritance, is there a way to shelter that money so that the potential ex could not have access to it in the event of a divorce? It's a pretty tough conversation to bring up with your wife and best friend who you have been with for 12 years any way you look at it.

I am a proud new dad to my 3 week old son,

you could always put the inheritance $$$$ in a trust fund for your son

I dont cheat and I am not married but if my lady knew how much I spent on SLED N, she would probably find a way to divorce.:d

I am going to have to get married and pre-nump all my stuff back beacause good old canadaian laws DICTATE (fawcking amazes me in a free country) that we are common law married, F U Goevernment to the free country, I could loose everything I have worked 70hours a week for 10 years.for..

Let me get this straight. After 23 years together your wife asked you to sign away any claim to her inheritance? and you happily signed away any rights you may have had to claim that money? Really and why

yes

and you happily signed away any rights you may have had to claim that money?

yes

Really and why

yes really, I don't need her money. she has dedicated her life to raising my boys, keeping me fed, clothes clean, organizing our finances, staying at home and remaining faithful while I work long hours and gone for days and sometimes weeks at a time. she is a saint, and deserves all the happiness life can afford her. maybe I'll feel differently after she kicks my azz out, but I sure don't spend any time dwelling on it. what's hers is hers, and what's mine is hers...lol.

I should add that it wasn't her suggestion or request, she would never ask that of me. I volunteered to do so at the suggestion of her lawyer/accountant. not sure what his motives were, other than trying to look out for her i guess. maybe they are conspiring..... :d
