[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]SM here.  Difference is I work, but DH had two kids that I raised and we had a kid. 1/3 of half goes to each kid and half goes to my bio kid. I’ve been upfront with DH that is what I’ll do if he dies before me.  I’m not penalizing my kid for having me as a mom.  [/quote]

This is what I am doing. [/quote]

I don't actually understand what this arrangement is.  So father's assets go directly to all children when he dies, and none to the stepmother?  And the children get unequal portions?  That wouldn't make sense.

What DOES seem more fair is that 50% would go directly to the 2 bio-children (split between them), and 50% to the stepmother.  Stepmother can then decide what their joint kid gets, and presumably, joint kid will be her sole heir.  Alternatively it could go in thirds, with 2/3 going to bio-kids and 1/3 going to stepmother.  However, I do think it's fair for the surviving spouse to get 50%.  [/quote]

Surviving spouse should get all in this situation and then it be divided equally upon death.  Why should his wife not inherit it just because he had a previous child?  This was a long term marriage with kids.  She stayed home to raise their kids.  Equally shared assets.[/quote]
