Met a friend of mine today who's wealthy by most standards, in his early 70's. His son and former daughter-in-law just got divorced. She was sleeping around on him. Anyway, the DIL tried to sue my friend (her former FIL) for future inheritance her ex would likely inherit once my friend dies, which might not be for 20-25 years...
The judge threw it out, but I couldn't believe that someone would even consider trying something like that.

What kind of wealth are we talking about? A few million, tens of millions?

I thought inheritances were considered separate property and as long as they aren't mixed with marital assets the party not receiving the inheritance has no right to those assets but I could be wrong or perhaps it varies by states. Regardless it would never dawn on me to go after something my wife inherited let alone trying to sue for a future inheritance she could receive.

Is she worried about the son cutting off one or more of the kids in the future? While it does happen the way you slant it up there, usually the man starts having affairs and then the fed up wife does so as well. One really never knows what was promised behind closed doors. Personally ID know why it matters. You can ask for lots of things in a court of law, does not mean you will get them. Personally I wonder what the son did that he hasn't shared with your friend. Did he promise his dad's wealth to be shared with his wife on many occasions. Did he use it as a stick and a carrot? IDK.

Yeah, the guy might have been leading a secret double life as a Russian spy. Yeah, the guy might be a lizard person. There is no end to the ways the guy might be the bad guy in this story.

They might both be jerks for various reasons was what I was hinting at. Tractor doesn't know and neither do I. If she was a stay at home mom because he wanted her to be, the odds of the son promising part of dad's money to her increase dramatically.

She has no right to her former in laws money while they are still alive. Any other claim is ridiculous. Once they are divorced she is no longer related. What she is entitled to is 50% of the marital assets. That’s it. The fact that she feels entitled to anything more makes her the bad guy in this story

The only way I could see this lawsuit being successful would be if the woman had a written contract with her father-in-law for this money. Sort of a pre-nup with the FIL as an inducement for her to marry the FIL's son.

Do you really want to be that judgmental person without even knowing most of the basic facts of the divorce filing? Shakes head. #white male privilege #rememberjohnedwards

PMD, it may be what you and Tractor think it is. It may not, you'd have to read the divorce filing IMO to perhaps understand the reality of the request etc.
Here's the thing I hate about current US society especially since Trump.
If its a woman, assumed guilty before the facts are in If its a man, oh he must have a reason for doing that ...

If its a woman, assumed guilty before the facts are in If its a man, oh he must have a reason for doing that ... No, there are not 2 sides to this. It doesn’t matter what the husband promised. It wasn’t his money. The parents may have promised the moon and the stars, but they are allowed to change their minds if circumstances change. If the parents lost it all in the stock market, are they still going to be held to the promise? IT ISNT HER MONEY. No other facts are needed to understand this. As someone else said, absent a contract, she had no case. I understand that men are always wrong in these cases in your opinion, but that doesn’t change the facts. She was entitled. I can promise my kids and their significant others all of my money, but it doesn’t mean they have a right to it

DAMN double DAMN that never crossed my mind. If my attorney wasn’t dead I would sue him for not thinking of this 42 years ago. ![](https://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff155/JiminiChristmas/ymamsmiles/rofl.gif) Ok I’ll crawl back under the bed with my quart of OJ and gallon of vodka.

I'm surprised it even made it to a judge. Even if the friend died when they were married, inheritance can be considered separate property if not comingled.
That the FIL was alive, and might leave son nothing if there was a falling out or funds used for expensive health care and long term nursing care, makes it bonkers.

But I wouldn't have stayed especially since I don't think you can inherit if you commit murder. My EXMIL called me after EX second marriage and wanted me to give my diamond engagement ring back.

I was so tempted to replace it with a zircon (think that is what it is called) and just out of the goodness of my heart send my "diamond" back to her. But my EX was/is a good person so I'm not throwing off on him "too much" I wasn't the easiest person to live with for 18 yrs! No regrets on this end. Ok end of my saga!! ![](https://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff155/JiminiChristmas/ymamsmiles/whisky.gif) Oh this is the same MIL who offered me $20,000 to divorce her baby.

Met a friend of mine today who's wealthy by most standards, in his early 70's. His son and former daughter-in-law just got divorced. She was sleeping around on him. Anyway, the DIL tried to sue my friend (her former FIL) for future inheritance her ex would likely inherit once my friend dies, which might not be for 20-25 years... The judge threw it out, but I couldn't believe that someone would even consider trying something like that. Wow, that's crazy! Hope she has a good sized lawyer bill to pay! What kind of wealth are we talking about? A few million, tens of millions? Just under 1 mil, so not a lot, but he's comfortable. Currently has farm listed for 800K, so that will add to his retirement.

The son did nothing but have a stroke 5-years ago (at 42), and she didn't want to stay married to a cripple. 😢

I came from hardscrabble farming folks. I'd rather walk away than take a certain amount of BS. Sometimes I wish I was as goodlooking as I was then, but I'd rather have the hard-won wisdom and well-earned discernment. Sister D almost married into serious money but decided to go older and with a man she was more herself with. I think it was the right choice. P.S. Sometimes I like her husband way more than I like her.

I used to do divorces until I just couldn’t take it anymore. Some of the things people wanted me to ask for make this request look Sane

What if the husband is a "trust fund baby" and doesn't have much in the way of "w2 income" but they live a 500K a year lifestyle (thanks to his trust fund)? Maybe trust fund isn't the right thing... basically the husband's "income" is money from his parents. If the Father In Law is 70... the son is maybe 40ish... We don't know all the facts. Are there kids involved? How long was the couple married (the now Ex-wife might not have worked and neither did her husband - so not even future SS)?
Ok, yeah it seems like a crazy request... but we don't know all the facts.

So if I am an adult living off another person who has no legal obligation to support me, I should be able to force that person to continue to support me?
