Great so you don’t need the inheritance. Also why do you keep bringing up the ex-wife? We are talking about children from the first marriage. |
Oh come on. This whole thread is about money. My parents aren’t divorced and don’t spend a lot of time with my kids. Life is not full of guarantees. |
Are you thick I just wrote I dont want his inheritance and have told him as much. As pp poster said I pay for our lifestyle whilst ex wife leeches of him to maintain hers |
You aren't punishing kids by not leaving them an inheritance. Maybe all the money is the new wife's. Ever consider that? You are not entitled to an inhertance. And, yes, cheating wives has a huge impact. |
My parents see my kids a few hours a year and we live close by. You are right, it has little to do with it. I expect no inheritance. I don't even expect a $5 gift for my kids birthdays nor mine and my parents can afford it. |
You seem like a real charmer, I can't imagine why they'd avoid spending time with you. The children are adults now and if their father wishes to rebuild a relationship with them, there is nothing their mother can do to stop him. If your DH doesn't have it in him to do that, I wonder why you chose him to be the father of your children. Remember, how he treats them is how he will treat yours some day. |
I paid for everything, and often supplemented for the kid's needs in terms of clothing and plane tickets as my husband couldn't afford it. He didn't start earning enough to support us till many years into the marriage and at that point child support was over. His ex gets life long alimony. So for 10 years of marriage in their 20's, she gets, what 50+ years of his income. A great deal for her. Sadly, she doesn't do anything for the kids with his money. |
We aren’t talking about the new wife’s money we are talking about the dad’s inheritance. 2nd wives can have a more negative impact, don’t be that person. |
Great we agree his inheritance goes to his adult children. Nobody is talking about ex-wives except for you. |
I detest my dad & his second wife. They’re raising their kids in my childhood home. His daughter’s bedroom is mine. |
Make your own money. Stop relying on daddy for your retirement. |
He treats me very well and treated them very well too. I have no worries. I know why I choose him to be my kids father and he's a great father. Now, you should talk to the AP's ex-wife. She can tell you lots of stories about his ex-wife. She is far from a nice, good person. |
So, what would you prefer they do, sell the house? You think your room should be a shrine? |
Same I'm paying for everything for my kids. Thankfully slug doesn't get life alimony. Just got child support and made DH pay for all extras flights, trips, clothing, tuition. Second wives actually have it worse. |
When my SIL’s dad died…. She was power of attorney for him.
His house was in her name due to his bad credit. The new wife was a peach. She flew in .. creamated his body, had no funeral, took his car and sold it, evicted her in 30 days and sold the house. It was wild. |
