[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think it’s accurate to say she’s forcing you. Your husband wants to. [/quote]

The law in Germany is on the MIL‘s side. The government could go after the son if he earns more than €100k. How they enforce it overseas is another question.[/quote]

Is this OP?  This was from your original post:  " Legally, in Germany the spouse is responsible for the medical costs and nursing home costs of the other spouse. So the guardian can force her to sell the house."[/quote]

OP here. I did not write this, it was a different poster. Nevertheless, it is true, adult children are also responsible for the cost of a parent's nursing home care, but only after the assets of the spouse had been exhausted. [/quote]

Nevertheless, there is absolutely nothing at all right now that is "forcing" you or your spouse to spend a dime.  Your husband WANTS to.  You don't.  Have a conversation about how you collectively want tot spend your money.  Nobody, not the government of your MIL, is forcing either of you to do anything.[/quote]
