You will have to prove that you were no longer seperated at the time of her mothers death, it doesnt matter if you go and stay a night here and there for the child to see you. So I'm gonna have to sorry no, and why would you want to do this anyway it was her mother not yours, if your were gone would you want someone you seperated with over two years ago say they deserve that inheritance also? I would use some common sense before trying to take something that belongs to someone you had once loved enough to marry and have children with.

check with your lawyer before going. i have family that are divorced and they have to sign forms allowing their kids to leave the state even for a short amount of time...be safe.

the executor of the estate is supposed to divie up the remains equally, i think; and that means for everything that is sold you get an equal share.  if they sold it, it doesnt matter if they already spent their portion of what they got, they still owe you your share.  you can sue them.  its a shame people act so selfishly and unethical towards each other when their parent dies.

You may wish to check with an attorney but for the most part the standard practice is this;\n\nSend her a registered letter. Inform her that if the property is not picked up in 30 days it is considered abandoned and under the law it will be disposed of. The property actually becomes yours to sell or toss out.\n\nAfter 30 days she s**t out of luck. Just be sure to send any correspondence registered receipt.\n\nYou do have to retain her stuff but after 30 days and the letter...ha!...no self respecting cop would pinch you.

It depends a lot on what state your in but, in some states no it wont as long as your not on any of them, yet in some states it will because marital property is also debts, my best advice is call a lawyer and ask them.

In georgia you can appeal your child support payments every 2 years.  If you have greater than half custody, and can prove it, you most likely can get it stopped, maybe even start receiving some.

call a laywer and ask for sure but i'd think so... i mean, if you pick up and leave they can't legally proove that you weren't spoused to.

You need to speak with an attorney who specializes in family law and preferrably has experience in handling estates as well. With your Father having no will I believe you and your sibling(s) are entitled to a portion of his estate. How much I don't know. Depending on which state you live in you may be able to find some information online. If you can tell us which State I'll help you look and post back here links that I find. \n\nI am so sorry for your loss. At 22 you shouldn't have to deal with this. \n\nIf your parents were legally separated that may be a good thing. You did mention having proof with some type of legal documentation. \n\nIf I were you I would get as much of your ducks in a row as possible before confronting your Mother. \n\nGood Luck.. I hope you are successful.\n\nBren... you don't allow email. Start here.... \n\n1-800-221-9576  It is a phone number for the Legal Consumer Guide for California.

To be honest, it would be better for all of you if you could work something out with your sister because the present interest holder (meaning your mom) in a reversionary life estate cannot do anything that would dimish the value of the property and she also has a duty to maintain the property.  If it has been vacant for an extended period, anything could have happened over there.  \n\nYour sister may have also included a right of termination in the life estate or reserved some sort of right of entry if for instance your mom had to go into a nursing home.  There are all kinds of unknowns here both in how your sister set this up and the law in your state. \n\nLong story short, you may not be able to stop her.  \n\nWhy don't you just go with her or simply remove anything from the house that your mom does not want your sister to have access to?  It would seem to be the most painless compromise for all involved.

On a federal level there are no affects to transferring assets between spouses.  Some states such as California are community property states, which means that all assets are considered to be owned by both spouses.

If the marriage was not procured by fraud, mistake, illegality or duress, then it is possible for a spouse omitted from a testator's will to challenge the distribution of the estate and obtain an intestate share for herself. The specific rules vary from State to State.\n\nHowever, spousal support is the right to be supported by the future efforts of the paying spouse, and as your uncle is apparently deceased, he has no future earning capacity. Therefore, the woman cannot obtain "support" from the estate, except to the extent that the estate may be contained by an income producing trust; in which case, the spouse could petition for an intestate share of that trust income. \n\nThis would not be financial support, however, and it would not last only one year. Rather, it would last as long as the trust continued to pay income.\n\nWhich, I'm sure, is not what you wanted to read. But, that's the law.

If you are already concerned about her wanting the house back, don't do a land contract (AKA contract for deed).  On these, when you do get your financing together, you need her to sign it over to you.  If she refuses, if you can't find her, if she's died, you've got trouble... you called her your mother in law..... if you get divorced from her son... probably trouble too.

The house was in both parents names when she died she had no claim over it so he had full ownership - had she made a will and stated that her half go to her children then he couldn't have sold it without their say so.\n\nhe would have had to give the children half if the will was changed and you wanted it to be sold.

I'm not sure if I understand your question right, but I think you are asking if your estate could be attached by your former family if you die.\n\nDon't let this answer replace proper legal advice, but I believe no. For one thing, inheritance only applies when you're dead. Do your best to outlive your ex-spouse.\n\nProbably the best way to assure division of your estate after death is a properly written will. Even legitimate bloodline heirs can have shares adjusted by you and you can add in any person or institution that you want.\n\nMy will reads "Being of sound mind and will, I spent it all."\n\nJust as important as the inheritance you leave will be the legacy. Your children will observe and possibly adopt attitudes that you display. Today you can choose whether the legacy you leave is of patience, tolerance, kindliness and love or else of fear, defensiveness, intolerance and control.

If there is a will involved, the will is controlling.  If there is no will (intestate) the spouse and the children usually share in the estate.  Not sure about Kentucky, but in Tennessee, the spouse can choose to get an elective share based upon the number of years married to the spouse (up to 40% of the estate) or the spouse gets a 1/3 interest or a child's share, whichever is more.  Therefore, if there were only one surviving child, the spouse would get 50%.  If there were two surviving children, the spouse would get 33 1/3%.  If there were three surviving children, the spouse would get 33 1/3% and the children would equally split the remaining 66 2/3%, with each child receiving 22.22%.

If htey gave you the house and you are paying the notes, do you have a ocntract with them?  Has it been transferred to your name?  These are things you need to check out.  Sounds like they still own the house, and if so I would take my 842.00 and go elsewhere to live or have to put up with controlling in-laws and a nosey sister-in-law.

Are you wondering how to get in contact with someone who needs their house looked after?  If so, I would contact the base housing office.  They should be able to answer your questions.  If you are wondering about any liabilities that would be placed on you if something happened to the house while the owner is away you should contact the base legal office.  They will be able to help you draft a "contract" of sorts between you and the owner that will state what you can and cannot be held accountable for in their absence.
