[quote=Anonymous]Leave your inheritance out of the discussions. It’s not yours until your parent dies. Anything could happen before then - obviously I’m not wishing it on them or you, but until the money is yours, you have no idea, and no court would take it into account when dividing marital assets.That goes for the 529 too if they are the trustee. He should have to pay his share of college expenses, or maybe that is a negotiation lever for you (you will cover college if he leaves your retirement alone).

For what it’s worth, I was the higher earning spouse and my lawyer counseled me that men’s egos often prevent them from taking spousal support if they can support themselves.  We ended up spitting child expenses (child care, clothes etc, but not food or home expenses) but I have them 60% of the time so my expenses are a little higher.  And we pay their tuition in proportion to our income, so I pick up a lot more of that. But I don’t pay him support.

Maybe you will get lucky and yours will let go of the idea of getting a monthly check from you[/quote]
