[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OTOH, I think it's really messed up when the low earning spouse gets a large inheritance and chooses to keep it as her personal property, then divorces and claims she needs alimony to maintain her standard of living. In that situation, "family money" should be a factor in the divorce settlement. [/quote]

Must have been illiquid. Your message makes no sense from an estate or divorce law perspective.

Alimony is based on forgone day job earnings to prop up the earning spouse, kids and household. [/quote]

It makes perfect sense. Inheritance is not part of the marital estate.

I think it makes sense though that she still gets alimony bc women usually lose a lot more in marriage and divorce than men do. Their youth is much more valuable and they are not the same marriage material as a divorced with kids, and since marriage is still the road to stability for most women, it really matters a lot. It’s why most older divorced women are poor.[/quote]
