[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My parents didn’t have a plan (or so i thought)  and didn’t care. I saw it coming about 10 years in advance and tried to help them. They ignored my advice. I tried to help them 5 years out with more advice. They ignored it again

When they ran out of money [b]my mother was lucky to inherit some. She promptly divorced my father so she didn’t have to share it.[/b] I felt bad for my father and bought him a condo to live in (thankfully I kept in my name).

I asked my father to contribute a modest amount less than the condo does monthly to give him some value in what he was eyeing but he paid it sporadically and regularly bounced the checks. He borrowed money on top of it. Eventually he got kicked out of the condo (don’t even ask how but it is possible) and then I cut him off. I told him that I would not support him financially any longer and that while I loved him we could no longer discuss money and that while I wished him the best I would not help him financially any longer. As a result he hardly ever calls me except to ask for money. Very sad truthfully.[/quote]

Inherited money is not marital property.  She would not have had to share it with her husband.[/quote]
